  Unknown macro: {color. Theme is Instructional Technologies. Barbara Friedman will be speaking to the group; what topics are important? 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.
