Integrating library resources into your course

Library instruction

The Duke University Libraries and the Center for Instructional Technology can assist you as you plan your course:

Online readings

  • Use E-Reserves to post readings online
  • Link to articles: in most cases you cannot simply capture the URL from the address bar because these links are temporary. Here are some other options

Video & films

  • Place videos or DVDs on Reserve in Lilly Library for the semester
  • Sign up for a classroom showing of a Lilly video or DVD. Language Departments may use the West Campus Language Lab Viewing Room
  • Provide streaming video online (if you own the copyright to the materials). Consult with CIT for details.
  • Provide short clips online (if you don't own the copyright). Consult with CIT for details or drop in the CIT Lab Tuesday to Friday from 1-5pm to learn how to digitize clips.

Music & audio

  • Place recordings on Reserve in the Music Library
  • Provide streaming audio online, as downloadable audio clips or podcasts, if you own the copyright to audio materials. Consult with CIT for details.
  • Provide textbook audio materials online. Consult with CIT for details.

Locating images, documents, data, maps, etc.

Multimedia projects

  • Consult with CIT about best practices and what to expect from these assignments, before assigning them
  • Use the CIT instructional technology multimedia computer lab in Bostock Library to create multimedia projects or materials
  • Encourage your students to use appropriate labs and facilities:
    • Students may create projects and get help in the Multimedia Project Studio in Lilly Library on East Campus or in Old Chemistry on West Campus
    • Perkins/Bostock and Lilly Libraries offer computers with production software and scanners. Several group study rooms in Perkins/Bostck are equipped with DVD players, VCRs, laptop connections and wall mounted monitors -- great for practicing multimedia presentations.

Incorporating new teaching activities

  • Consult with CIT on best practices in teaching, applying new technologies effectively in teaching, and evaluating the results
