Library Help Discussion Boards in Blackboard

Library Help Discussion Boards in Blackboard

In an effort to reach students in this new medium, we have piloted a project offering a “Library Help Discussion Board” program in Blackboard. For those interested, we assign a librarian to monitor a designated discussion board within the specific course they are teaching. Using this discussion board, students can post any research questions they have and a librarian will directly address them. Questions in the pilot project included discussion of remote access problems, choice of proper resources, the use of databases, and citation problems.
