The library provides electronic reserves through Blackboard; to utilize electronic reserves you must first establish a Blackboard account. There is no limitation on the number of items you can place on electronic reserve, but the library will not place articles on reserve that are available electronically through an online database provided by Joyner Library. Faculty members are reponsible for obtaining and keeping the copyright for all materials placed on reserve. Due to copyright laws all electroinc reserves will be removed from the course at the end of the semester unless faculty members request they be continued for the following semester.

Joyner Library provides course-integrated instruction sessions through pre-recorded videos, tutorials, or Centra. Also, we create instructional materials to assist students with library research. Instructional materials include creation of library web pages, documents for Blackboard, or tutorials tailored to your couse. All resources and services are designed to meet the specific needs of distance students and faculty based upon class format and research topics. Discussions will be held with the faculty member about the learning outcomes they wish their students to acheive when instruction or course materials are requested. Please allow at least 2 weeks for the preparation of instructional materials.
