Research Guides:
Assist students in using library resources like database searching, requestin interlibrary loan, and tutorials. Provide links to your Subject Area Research Guide and the Distance Assistance Research Guide through Blackboard.
Linking Articles in Blackboard:

Watch Tutorials:
Ask your subject librarian for the best tutorials for your subject. A few general tutorials.
Create Course Packs:
Work with the Bookstore to create Course Packs of unlicensed library content rather than expecting every student to get these materials through interlibrary loan.
Use UND Email:
Encourage students to utilize their UND emails for library and UND policy reasons. Students must use their UND email for interlibrary loan.
Contact Information:
Encourage students to maintain up-to-date contact information in Campus Connection. The library uses this information for mailing student interlibrary loan materials.
