Whether your course is online, hybrid, or face-to-face with an online component, you can add an embed an online librarian inside individual courses in Desire2Learn. The online embedded librarian connects with your students in D2L to provide assistance with research, library resources, citation & documentation, academic integrity and other digital literacy initiatives. Collaborate with your librarian to design engaging projects relating to information literacy and student success. If you’re interested, please contact your liaison librarian.
The library offers self-guided modules that can be incorporated into D2L's gradebook. These modules can be customized to address the needs for your class. If you’re interested, check out our offerings, and contact your liaison librarian with any questions.
Faculty can check out librarian prepared lessons to use in their classrooms. These lessons come with a full lesson plan, instructional video, and a hands on learning activity. Available lessons include:
Understanding Database Searching
These lessons can be completed in 15-20 minutes. Request a toolkit.
LibGuides are a information sharing system designed to create user-friendly,web pages that can meet the information needs of our students online.
Librarians can collaborate with faculty to create custom content quickly for student's specific information needs for an assignment or class. Librarians also maintain subject matter guides, which cover a general subject area more broadly and aggregate book, database, and other electronic resources for a convenient place for students to reliably start their research.
LibGuides can benefit students in many ways:
Yay - we're so excited to help you! Contact your Subject Librarian, and they'll be happy to work with you to create the information resource you need. Please give us a least two weeks of notice before your LibGuide is needed so that librarians have time to research, vet, and assemble guides.
The library creates many video tutorials that are easily embedded in your D2L Classes for students to explore independently as needed. Some are featured here. Check out our full YouTube Channel to see everything we have to offer! Need something we don't have? Contact your Liaison Librarian and let us know!
