Library Link is a new tool that makes it easy for faculty to build course reading lists and incorporate library resources into the lists in one simple-to-use interface. You can use it within your Moodle courses or access it from any web browser. Once you’ve shared your Library Link reading list with your students, they can access their course materials in one convenient place.
Library Link lets faculty:
- Create a reading list of all types of materials your students need to read or watch (e.g. physical materials, e-resources, streaming videos, PDFs, websites).
- Embed this reading list in your Moodle course or have your students access the reading list within Library Link itself if you’re not using Moodle.
- Connect students directly to resources available through the St. Olaf Libraries.
- Place materials on reserve at the library more conveniently than by submitting TDX requests.
- Upload PDFs that can be collaboratively annotated by the class.
- Monitor student engagement with the course materials.
- Save and reuse your reading list in future courses.
Library Link lets students:
- See what course materials have been assigned.
- Access course materials online through the reading list.
- See what physical materials are available on reserve at the library.
- Mark assigned readings as Done.
- Highlight, take notes in, and collaboratively annotate PDFs.
