Library Refworks

Integrating library resources and services into your Blackboard site will enhance its value for your students. CIT and the Library have added links to the Library Gateway and to the Ask a Librarian service for all new Blackboard courses, created after 8/14/06.

Instructors can link directly from Blackboard to: course reserves and canned Library searches, Library licensed resources, and Library created materials such as webliographies, subject guides, help pages, etc.

Using Library Resources in Blackboard

Maple T.A.

All instructors will see links to the Math Department's Maple T.A. server in the Control Panel of their sites. The Maple T.A. system is on a separate server as part of this program being run by the Mathematics Department. Access to these tools does not imply permission to use them.
