  1. Turning a Blackboard into a Library While you juggle and teach Information Literacy too! (Should work for WEBCT also!)

  2. I’m looking for a quick fix. Sustainability is a key idea

  3. Lesson 1 COMMUNICATION Start with a nice greeting to the students inviting them to send you their questions. Hi -  This is Jan one of the Librarians at Spokane Falls.  Please click on the GREEN folders.  Additional help is available at http://www.spokanefalls.edu/Programs/LibraryAtHome/ If you need more help be sure and call the Reference Desk at 533-3834 or 1-800-251-1972 or e-mail me your questions at janw@spokanefalls.edu .  I'll try to help as much as I can.   Jan  )  : - )   

  4. Don’t expect them to come

  5. Students will communicate with their class instructor. Dear Dr. Smith, There aren’t any books in the library on my musician and if there were any I wouldn’t have the time or energy to get there. Is it okay if I just use the two paragraph article from an online encyclopedia that I Googled instead of the 3 sources you required? Susie

  6. Dear Susie, NO! Dear Susie, You will need to contact Jan the librarian. Why don’t you e-mail her? Dr. Smith Very Important P.S. Just in case you are to busy or too shy to do this I will forward this letter to Jan.

  7. Less than half the student actually contacted me after Dr. Smith recommended they do so. • My mailbox was not filled with questions.

  8. MORE ON COMMUNICATION • I thought I’d view the videotapes, read the text and monitor discussions • I DIDN’T HAVE TIME!! • Instructor forwarded e-mail to the librarian is the way to go.

  9. Lesson 2 HAVE IT WHERE THEY CAN’T MISS IT! • My first try was nice and tidy. • Green folders indicated research/library information

  10. Opening the research folder revealed a neat list of options.

  11. Students didn’t open the folders Present your information folders so they can’t help but find it.

  12. The fewer clicks the better! • Now one click to LIBRARY/RESEARCH HELP opens all the off-campus library pages

  13. Important Library Links • Online Request for Information • Book Catalog and Tutorials • Lists of Book Titles and Subject Headings • Direction for using E-Books • Links to Online Reference Books • Periodicals Online and Tutorials

  14. More IMPORTANT LIBRARY LINKS • Research Strategy and MLA Documentation • Web Evaluation Information and Tutorials • Plagiarism Tutorial • Recommended Music Internet Web Pages • Links to Other Area and College Libraries • Interlibrary Loan information and online Request for Information form

  15. Lesson 3 - CLEAR EXPECTATION Dear Jan, When Dr. Smith says to use a biography what does he mean? Thank you, Kari

  16. Work with Instructor to Present Clear Expectations • Before submitting your rough draft or final paper complete this checklist. Remember you cannot write a research paper from general encyclopedias and brief web pages only. You need to have some substantial information to support your thesis. • If you need help at any stage of your research feel free to consult the SFCC librarians at 533-3834 or 800 251-1972 during library hours
