New Discussion Topics:
Question about Blackboard; Tony and Oya are the library representatives for the Blackboard Upgrade Implementation Team (campus-wide);
...
question
...
is
...
how
...
to
...
get
...
more
...
specific
...
information
...
at
...
the
...
course
...
or
...
discipline
...
level.
...
There
...
are
...
a
...
number
...
of
...
Blackboard
...
Modules
...
that
...
could
...
be
...
created
...
for
...
library
...
instruction
...
that
...
could
...
then
...
be
...
downloaded
...
to
...
specific
...
courses.
...
LibGuides
...
can
...
be
...
easily
...
added
...
to
...
as
...
a
...
button
...
to
...
Blackboard.
...
Idea:
...
each
...
subject
...
library
...
is
...
responsible
...
for
...
creating
...
a
...
module
...
for
...
Blackboard
...
for
...
use
...
by
...
instructors.
...
Suggestion:
...
approach
...
the
...
area
...
collection
...
development
...
teams
...
andask
...
they
...
take
...
on
...
responsibility
...
for
...
populating
...
the
...
modules.
...
The
...
new
...
Blackboard
...
upgrade
...
will
...
be
...
adopted
...
in
...
Summer
...
2011.
