Faculty Guide to the Library

Want to include a librarian in your D2L classrooms? Your students will be able to reach their librarian easily through D2L when they have questions about research as a minimum; we can also participate in discussion board conversations or get even more involved in providing formative feedback to students for midway assignments like rough drafts or annotated bibliographies to steer them towards the right sources before they're submitting their final papers.

Steps

1. Click into a course section to which you want to add a librarian.

2. Click "VTAC Support" in the tool bar.

 3. Under Self Service: User Access, click "Add a User to Your Section."

4. Complete the short form to authorize the addition. For guidance on choose a role, see notes below.

5. Finally, click "Submit" and LSC-Online will take care of the rest!
You'll receive a confirmation email when they're done, but we don't, so it'd be much appreciated if you could gives us a head's up once we've gotten access.

6. Repeat for other sections.

Selecting the Access Level:

We recommend choosing the Faculty or the Teaching Assistant roles:

We do not recommend any other roles (Observer, Advisor, LSP, etc), as we will be overly limited in how we can participate in your class. The Observer role, for example, doesn't even allow replying to a discussion board! If that's all you want, we advise just adding in some of the pre-prepared library resources instead of a librarian.
