Using Articles & Videos in P.L.A.T.O.: Using Additional Library Resources in P.L.A.T.O.

The following is are examples of library resources you can automatically have added to your course site:

• Course guide
• Subject (program) guide
• A-Z database list for your subject (program)
• Contact information for your librarian
• Today's library hours
• Research consultation request form

Key advantages are:

• Helps you achieve core educational goals for your program
• Never having to worry about links to library resources changing (time saver!)
• Information transfers during a course-copy (another time saver!)
• Default resources display if no course and/or subject-specific guides and databases are found

To add Library Research Help to your course site, simply follow these directions:

• Click on Course Content
• Create or go to the module in which you wish to add library content
• Click on Add Existing Activities
• Click on External Learning Tools
• Click on Library Research Help

That’s it!

Note:  If you do this on a master course site, it will look like it's not working correctly, but once you copy the course for the semester, it should work and display properly.  Contact us if you have issues.
