Virtual Library Resources
The library has been building virtual instructional resources to engage students and connect them with the high quality resources that are available through the library website.
The links below can be used in your course, whether you teach face-to-face or online or in a hybrid environment.
- Virtual Library Escape Room – Students can learn about navigating the library and the library resources that are available by attempting to “escape” the virtual library!
- https://sites.google.com/view/clbescape/home (Currently being Updated)
- This can be added to Blackboard by clicking the Purple Plus; CREATE; LINK; Copy and Paste URL from above and make sure it is VISIBLE to students. You can add a short description to tell students if this is an optional or required activity and you can title it Virtual Library Escape Room.
- Virtual Library Classroom (an interactive way to engage students and connect them to library resources) and can be embedded into Blackboard. I will be happy to embed it FOR you if you will email me and provide the course name and number in Blackboard where you would like me to add it to your course.
