Recommendations accompanying the document encourage faculty to consider the use of licensed electronic databases and electronic reserves as key instructional resources. Appropriate use of Blackboard is usually to provide a link to the resources available at the library rather than to duplicate that resource within your course site. Web Services and University Library staff can help you implement the links between these resources should you need assistance. A complete list of contacts is listed on the Guidelines document.

The guidelines also describe the pros and cons for a wide variety of source materials. We encourage you to review these options and seek assistance should you have any questions about using copyright materials in your classroom.
