It's from the various library resources.
Uh, and the various educational modules and other content that we've created in the library so I'm gonna share my screen with you.
I have a fairly brief PowerPoint presentation that's going to look at.
Um, some of the technology basics at Yukon, and some of the things that you need to know in the past, we've given a technology overview, but we've simplified things quite a bit.
So, um, 1 thing, I'm glad everyone's here this morning and I'm going to share my my PowerPoint presentation with, you.
And hopefully everyone can see the presentation here.
So this is going to be an overview to linking library resources, not only for Blackboard, but for any learning management system, any anytime you need to generate generate a link that's reliable and stable.
So, we're going to look at it this morning session is we're going to look at using your net ID.
Your not ID really is your key to accessing the wide variety of resources that the Yukon library has to offer and also accessing other other electronic systems.
I'll do a very, very brief overview of husky, which is Yukon blackboard platform and then I'll show you.
To the guide that we've created on linking library resources.
Including the specific library guide both of these guides really will provide you with a great overview of the resources that you can library provides and then the last part
of the workshop this morning. Well, I actually have a demonstration of how to link these resources both in a blackboard and in Google classroom to demonstrate it in both in both platforms but by no means, are we limited.
Only 2, sub blackboard and Google quest and what I'm showing you this morning is applicable in any learning management system.
Anytime you want to generate a link to library resources whether you found a book, an article or video I'll show you how to get that stable link.
And how to use it, whether you're going to place it on a webpage, put it in a document, however, you want to use it. I'll show you how to get that link. So very briefly here, I'm going to go over the net ID.
Um, your net ID simply is, um.
Your username and password to most of the Yukon UConn systems.
Be at the libraries electronic resources, it's also the login for I'm a variety of the academic resources from to PeopleSoft, um, in the library.
What we say is that your net ID is your key to accessing library resources to the fullest.
Every every participant, whether you're an instructor or a student, everyone has a net ID and the.
This helps coordinate all that and is your, is your point of contact for any questions if you don't know your net ID if you're having if you're having problems they can,
they can, they can help you with that as opposed to calling as opposed to calling the help desk, and if once, you know, you're not ID if you want to change your net ID password, if you want to.
Make sure that you're not ID is working, you can go to net ID Yukon dot edu, and you can change your password you can check the status,
make sure your net ID is working and manager your net ID 24 7 without contacting anybody at the University.
So, ID really is your key to not only library resources, but the vast array of access to the various system. system
Are there, um.
That we have here at the University, if anybody has any questions, don't hesitate to stop me at at any time.
So that's a brief overview of the of the I recommend as an instructor as a library media specialist, assisting your instructors,
make sure that you have your net ID and password and that you can use it to log in. Because you'll find it helpful for accessing a wide array of, like I said, knowing the library resources, but.
Uh, the various resources that the university has in general, um, which you're, you're entitled to as an instructor, um, and the students are are entitled to a number of the resources as well.
So that's a quick overview of the net ID for those. That may not realize that, um, that they have an ID.
Um, like I said, office is very been very helpful over the years in answering questions.
Coordinating the provision of net IDs for those that are just joining us and the university self service tool at net ID that you conduct is also a great place to manage your net ID.
Once you have your your net ID and password. So.
That that takes care of the net ID. I'm going to go into a very brief overview of Huskies, demonstrate husky and show you some of the very basic features of it.
So, is the blackboard learning management system that Yukon has Yukon supports Google classroom as well as,
as husky is very popular among the faculty and the students simply because it connects into a wide array of university services for the students,
particularly it's PeopleSoft access access to.
The lecture recording system that is available on campus so it's, it's very popular in that in that way.
Um, it's available by going to if it's a platform that you'd like to use for, uh, for your course.
Um, you should contact the, uh, office again office has been very helpful over the years and getting the courses placed on.
See, if you'd like to use for your class, um, they, they can, um, help get that set up for you and, um, and get, um, all of your students enrolled in it.
Um, but by no means, is it a requirement? I want to state that, um, right out. It's not a requirement that you you use center requirement of anybody. It's simply a platform that's there for you to use.
You can use Google classroom if your school has.
Another learning management system, such as desire to learn, or the blackboard K12 platform, which is a little bit different than the blackboard learning management system, or some other learning management system.
How the link the linking method that I'm going to show you to generate stable links this morning will work in all of those learning management systems. So, by no means, are you, are you required to use husky? You will need to use your net ID if you're going to access.
So that's why I mentioned the. the
Idea at the top of the workshop, make sure that you're net ID is working in that you have the password for it.
And I mentioned this for those that don't have, haven't used blackboard and what to try things out. You can request a sandbox.
Course through Yukon in conjunction with, um.
You know, because you're, you're participating in an course 1 of the resources that's available to you is the blackboard learning management system and the university does allow sandbox courses to be created.
We call them non course sites but they're really sandbox. Is there a course shell that is created for you? It's a place for you to test things out to play around and see how things work.
For you actually teach a course using, using Blackboard,
whether you use the university's blackboard platform or you use another blackboard platform and you may find it helpful to have a sandbox course created for you. If you want to create a sandbox. Course.
Um, if you go to, which is the URL, shortening tool, that Yukon has forward, slash non class request.
I'll make sure that Zach and Kelsey get a sheet with all of all of these links as well as a copy of this PowerPoint presentation so that it could be distributed to all of you so that you have you have these links.
I'll briefly show you the non class request, it's a form that you fill out and our center for excellence and teaching and learning will create a non class site shell for you.
It can't have any students enrolled.
That's 1 of the limitations, but you can enroll any faculty that you want and once the course shell is created, the sandbox course is created, you can enroll anyone that you want in that course you have complete control over at the University.
Just asks that you don't use it in conjunction with any official teaching activities. It's just simply a place to demonstrate with other instructors other faculty.
Maybe even demonstrate to a few students in a non academic, non, academic.
But it's a great way to it's a great way to get your, um, to get your feet wet with, with Blackboard. Um, just 1, last thing before we move on here is, um.
If you haven't used Blackboard in the past, if it's been a while since you've used Blackboard, I'd recommend that. You check out the center for excellence in teaching and learnings webpage.
I'll get the link over to Zach and Kelsey. I'll actually put it in the husky slide. I thought I did, and I apologize for that.
The center for excellence in teaching and learning really is responsible for, um, the usage of the learning management systems, whether it's black board.
Whether it's Google classroom, whether it's another winning management system, they offer workshops throughout the year and how to maximize.
Your usage of husky, how to utilize some of the advanced functionality, such as administering exams and quizzes how to use safe assign,
which is the plagiarism detection tool that is part of our blackboard platform.
Those are are features that you may find adds value to your course. I know that we're keeping.
Things this morning to the basics that really will add immediate value to teaching and learning using library resources with your with your course.
But I really do recommend check out the center for excellence and teaching and learning. You can meet with their educational technology specialists via Webex. You can come on campus and meet with them.
They really can provide helpful tips and really maximizing the value.
that you get from placing your course materials in any learning management system particularly focused with the blackboard platform and also google classroom so i'll make sure that that link is put into the
i'll make sure that that link is put into the is put into the the slides so that's a very brief overview with husky i would be remiss if i didn't didn't briefly didn't briefly speak
We speak about it, the meat and potatoes of this workshop really is going to be looking at the various guides that we've created.
With Zach and Kelsey, I'm linking library resources. There's various there's 2 little guides that are you'll find very helpful and that really form the basis of.
Really form the basis of using library materials to their fullest. So I'm going to show you briefly both of these guides, but I have the links up here pay particular attention to the 2nd link here.
The the lip guy that we've created on resources specifically for the instructors and library media specialists,
that guide contains learning objects that we've created that.
How to find various materials using the library and the library systems.
And then the stable linking guide for linking various library databases and resources,
and getting the stable links from those various resources we have a guy that has been created in linking library resources in husky.
But the guide really shows you how to create how to get a stable link and then you can place it into any learning management system. A document.
Page any materials that you have,
both of these guides I think you'll find will provide great value in using the resources that the Yukon library offers to you as an library media specialist, and an instructor.
the last session of the day you're going to have a workshop with christina edwards who's the electronic resource library she's going to show you many of these resources in depth
and really show you how to use them and show you how you can use them to search materials and find materials for your class i'm not going to
Tell you that I, Christina can do a way better way, better presentation with that.
But what I am going to show you is, I'm going to show you how to get the links to those to those resources and show you some of the resources that we have that we have created. So.
Let me stop right here. I'm going to switch my screen so that I show my, my web browser. Why? I'm doing that if anybody has any questions. Please please let me know. I will share my.
I'll share my, my, uh, my browser with you my Firefox browser. So, the 1st guide that I'm gonna, I'm going to very briefly show. You is this is the guide.
That was created is created by the reference and student success unit. Um, it's a guide that I've, I've collaborated on, um, over over the years.
Um, and it's a great guide for resources. That may be valuable to you as an library media specialist, or an instructor, Zach and kelsie's contact information.
Patient is right here, if you, if you need to reach them for any assistance with any of the library resources or materials um, it's it's all right here for you.
Um, when I'm going to demonstrate this morning is I'm going to show a number of the library tutorials that we've created for you that you, you may find, um.
Provides, uh, provides a lot of a lot of value for you as an instructor so.
We've created an introduction and introduction learning modules, um, a video.
In how to how to use the library services that are available it goes over much of what I spoke about earlier about using your net ID, testing your net ID, and some of the other services that the library has,
if you want to, if you want to put this in to all learning management system, put any of these videos into a learning management system. You can simply take your your.
Cursor place it over the link as I'm doing and right. Click and choose copy the link from there. In husky.
I'm in husky here under build content and weblink. You can go ahead. And, um.
Right click again and paste the link and.
We'll just give it a quick name here and then you would hit the submit button. If we were doing that.
If we were going to create that link in a blackboard platform and it's available for that that video that module is available for your students.
If we were going to create the same in in a Google classroom, we'll click on classwork here.
And then create button, I'll create it as, um, as material. We'll do the same thing here.
And we'll create it as a link, and we'll do the same thing. Right? Click with your mouse and click on ad link. Um, it will go ahead and pull that.
Um, pull that little thumbnail, um, pull that little thumbnail in. Um, we'll click on the post button here and, um, here we have we have it posted.
You can use that link in any, in any, in any learning management and any learning management.
So, um, there's a right away a ride Ray of, um.
Learning modules that we've created some, that we'll show you and your students, how to do database searching how to get a book in the library introduction, um, how to get an article various various,
various parts of using the Yukon library and its services. So I'd recommend that. You you check out the, um, the library tutorials page within the, uh, the guide the.
Degrees, um, guide, um, there's a wide a wide array of, um, resources here. Um, including, um, the library policy, um, for the, um.
Early college experience, instructors and students and helpful tips and hints on on borrowing,
borrowing materials away from away from that. I would like to point your attention to.
The integrating library resources with guide that we've created and that reference in student success services maintains.
And that is really a great, uh,
really a great resource for you when you want to obtain stable links in any of the electronic resources that the Yukon library offers to you. So we do have, um.
Step by step in embedding the wide range of library resources into a husky course into a Google classroom. Course really?
Into any, any learning management system on the front of this guide. We have who to contact, if you would like to contact the center for excellence and teaching and learning there are a great a great resource.
Um, a great resource for you. I'll make sure that you get.
That you get the link for that, you can call them, you can email them and you can do they typically will get back to you the same day. And we'll, um.
Be very helpful in answering any questions that you may have about any teaching and learning, um, with the learning management system, and we,
in the library can help you with embedding the libraries resources into a learning management system platform as well. So, I'm don't hesitate to reach out to any of us at any time.
If, if you need if you need any.
If you need any help whatsoever, the integrating library resources guide also has a great step by step in creating links.
If you want to create a link to a book that is within the library's catalog if you want to point your students directly to to that book.
I've already done I've already done I've already done that here. I've already run.
I've already run a search.
I have found the book in the library catalog that I want to, um, that I want to place the link to. I want to embed it into, um, into a course. So.
Basically from the library catalog, you can see here that I'm logged in using my net ID, it's helpful to be logged in so that you can generate the, you can generate the link.
Certainly, you can, you can print this page out, but we're not interested in what we're interested in. Is.
We're interested in creating the permalink so if we click on a permalink, we will get a link to this resource in the library catalog.
I can click on copy the permalink to the clipboard of my computer. And now I can place that link anywhere that I want to place it.
So I have already placed it in this demonstration.
section in husky you can see that i have i have the example here if i click on it what's gonna happen is um it is going to take me
directly to it's going to take me directly to that uh directly to that book so that is how i can that is how i can embedded in in husky in husky and
blackboard
I've done the same thing in, um, in Google classroom here. I've added it as a link and if I click to new material, it would bring me to this link right here.
That is, that is how you would. That is how you would create only a permalink to any material within the library catalogue. So it doesn't have to be a book. It could be anything within the library catalog.
If you want to.
a permalink to that record within the catalog and bring your students right to that resource rate to that material so that they don't have to do any searching make it much easier for them you can that would be that would be
how that would be how you would that would be how you would how you would do it
I'm going to spend a few minutes because I'm always asked, um.
And I'm always asked about the video platforms that the library offers, the library offers a number of number of video platforms,
and from the linking library resources guide in husky. If you click on electronic resources, you'll see that.
We have comprehensive instructions on how to get up.
For a majority of the most popular library, uh, library databases, video platforms, um, and other resources that Yukon library subscribes to,
um, Alexander street video is is among, um, the most popular of the video platforms it's 1 of a number of, um, video platforms that the Yukon library subscribes to.
And sometimes it can be a little bit confusing as to how you link. Um.
and how you can get a permalink to to a video it is possible it just takes a little bit of it just takes a little bit of drilling down to do
so i've already done the search i've searched for watson and i know that the video that i want to link into or provide a link to my students into is
Decoding Watson, which was an, a PBS program so once I'm, I'm here I see with what I want, if I just click on it and I come into.
Ah, I come into more details surrounding the surrounding the video.
It tells me who it was produced by and other other information.
If I want to play the video, I want to watch the video, even if I want to play it in a classroom on the screen. I can just simply click on play and the video will play but the question that I.
And most often asked is, how do I, how do I link this video.
Into my my course materials, whether it's a learning management system, whether it is.
Um, a worksheet a class website well,
whatever whatever way you'd like to you'd like to do it and how we do that with Alexander street and with a number of other platforms is by clicking on site. And, um.
I'm sorry, not say share and I apologize by clicking on share here. So, again, if I want to play the video, I click on play. If I want to make a permalink to the video, I click on share.
And what you'll see here is you will see, um.
3 different links put 3 different links put in here for you. Um.
And this is where the confusion typically occurs with with instructors is not knowing which of the links to use and sometimes, um.
A certain certain instructors are told to use in bed code.
Or to link, um.
The video into a learning management system.
By using the connector for, for Blackboard, even for, uh, Google classroom, which now is compatible with it.
Um, what we've found is it's best not to use the or learning tools interoperability link. There are problems with it. It doesn't work correctly. It doesn't work correctly in Blackboard.
Yukon Huskies platform. It doesn't work.
Well, in any blackboard platform, um,
the embed code can be useful if you were webpage or web generated content system allows embed codes as part of the webpage you certainly can use the embed
code. But what I find it's best to use. What's most? Universal is the permalink and if we click on copy here, we'll copy the permalink to the.
We'll copy the permalink to the clipboard of the computer and.
Here we are black back in blackboard again by choosing build content and weblink. I can, I can copy and paste that.
I can copy and paste that link in there and make it available to my students. I've done the same in Google classroom as well.
If you're using Blackboard, you may be tempted to create a video item, which you, you can, um,
which you you can do.
Um, however, my recommendation right now is that you, you avoid using this if at all possible. Um, this would be.
In conjunction with.
Either the tool or the or the embed code and I would recommend that I'd recommend that. You not use it.
I've helped a number of instructors that have used to create video item in blackboard and I've actually had them revert their item to simply a
standard web.
We find that it works better in Google classroom. Um, it works as a web link as well if we click on create material here. Um, and we, we, uh, use the link.
Um, if this was a YouTube video, we could pull in that YouTube video link right? Into Google classroom, um, but I find just clicking on link and again pasting the right clicking and pasting the link.
Um, really is the, the most.
For the Alexander street stable, stable links. I do recommend that you check the stable links from time to time.
They should not change.
Um, but they, um.
They are sometimes they pull the videos. Sometimes they, um.
Make them available and the links are not. The links are not. The links are not are not working anymore simply because the item is no longer.
The item is no longer available.
I saw a chat message come in so I would I'm going to see if I can if I can answer the question is from arissa and she's asking what's the best way to search for an.
Online version of video on Yukon I have a teacher who wants to show their eyes.
Uh, we're watching God, so.
There's, there's, there's a couple of there's a couple of ways to do it and very, very briefly.
What I did is you can go directly to Alex industry videos from the stable linking platform here,
and you can, you can go into that platform.
And you can, you can search and see if if that is, if that is available for that if that film is available,
you can also go directly here. Um.
It's going to hide the meeting control. You can also go directly to the library catalog and you can see if that will pop up.
Um, you can use the,
you can use the various facets that are available in the library catalog to restrict your to restrict your restrict your search. I am sure.
That Christina Edwards who is coming up in in the last workshop or the day I am sure that she can,
she can point you to many other many other search, many other search strategies that would, um, that would get you a comprehensive list of results.
Um, I typically I typically.
Search the library catalogue, Marissa 1st, because Zach pointed out, sometimes we do have the videos, but they are available only physically as a DVD.
So we have them as a DVD on the shelf in the library. If we have it as.
Um, on 1 of the video platforms, it will typically appear in the library in the library catalog. So I hope that answers your, um, that answers your question.
Um, and if anybody has any questions, don't don't hesitate to don't hesitate to ask in a few minutes that we have in the few minutes that we have remaining.
Um, the last, um.
The, the last.
Item that I'm going to show you how to create a link for is, um, once you've searched in the library catalog, you found a, um, an article that you want your students to see in.
This is academic search premier from from I've searched the library catalogue. I've found I found this, um, in academic.
Academic search premier and this is the page that this is the page that comes up. Um.
I know that it's very tempting as an instructor as a library media specialist to go ahead and open up the PDF full text,
save the PDF full text and actually place the PDF of the article into.
Google classroom or Blackboard, or another learning management system and we, we ask that you not you not do that. Um, simply because it's better to.
Bring the students to the directly to the article in the, in the database, and let them open it up there as either in HTML or a PDF full text, uh,
full text article. It tends to work better. You get a stable link and, um.
You'll always know that so long as you have the permalink, you'll be able to get the full text article from from the database.
So, once I'm in academic search premier over on the right hand side, I have a number of tools that I can work with.
Whether I want to place the link in a Google Drive or 1 drive email to myself, created as a citation export it again. Here.
What I'm looking for is the permalink, and I want to I want to create the permalink.
My session may have expired here, which is why it may not it may not be allowing me to, um.
To demonstrate it, but I'll open it up as a as a new article and hopefully it will see my, uh.
It will see my, um.
And allow me to create it there we go and saw my login allows me to create it as a permalink.
These permalink can be long, but we just click on it highlight it click on copy and then we can go ahead again, build new content as a web link,
and we can, we can drop that link right there into right there into Blackboard the same.
If we were going to do this in husky in Google classroom, we would click on link there. Um, and we can either, um.
Use the keyboard control or right. Click and choose paste and then click on ad link and, um, and it will and it will come up.
Um, I know that I've, I've shown just a few of the many, many resources that the library that the library has for you here. Um.
And the, um, the electronic resources that are available.
I don't want to get too far into the specifics of the resources because Christina Edwards,
our electronic resources librarian is going to give you a really in depth overview of many of these many of these resources and, you know, how you can access them.
And how you can search them to really provide value for for your students. But what I'm.
Knew this morning is.
Um, once you, once you searched and, um, you found the resource that you'd like to use, um, how you,
you can create the permalink to that resource and place that link anywhere that you would like to anywhere that you'd like to place it.
So, many, if not most of the, um, electronic resources that the library subscribes to, um, are.
Available in the in the in the guide, and I'll make sure that you get the links to these guides.
I'll make sure Zack and Kelsey have it so that they can distribute it to you. If you have any questions.
You know, I found my, my resource and, you know, my, my resource that I want to use films on demand, how do I create a permalink to that?
We have we have that step by step here for you, and we're always updating this as, as changes happen on these, on these platforms. Um.
For sure, if you ever encounter an issue, or there's a platform that isn't covered here, just reach out to us,
you can reach out to Zac Kelsey and myself at any time I hope, I hope faculty instructors and staff just about,
on a daily basis with embedded links getting links generating links links that don't work. Triaging.
Problems.
Um, you're not alone with, um, with this. We're here to support you any way that we can in using the vast array of resources that, um, the Yukon library has to offer.
So, um, there's about 6 minutes or so remaining of this session. Um, does anyone have any, does anyone have any, um, does anyone have any, any questions.
Um, that I can that I can that I can, I can answer for you.
I see the question from Deb Gerber and is a permalink the same as a, the same as the you may find particularly in some of the, some of the, um,
in the databases that point to a journal article, you'll find the.
The link, um.
For all intents and purposes I've used the link and it has worked.
I find myself now using permalink wherever I can most, if not all of the platforms and electronic resources that we have do do use,
do have a permalink available where I tend to use a for a journal article particularly is.
In some of the federal research databases, like pub med, um, and some of the some of the others I get the, and I put that in there and it works.
Um, I don't consider them the same, but they, they have a very similar a very similar function on that question.
If there's ever a question, don't hesitate to contact us. I'm sorry Zach or you mind if I jump in real quick on that. 1. so, yeah, oftentimes, the permalink will be, you know, specifically formatted for for a particular vendor format.
Um, and it's just the way that they piece together a permalink, um, now oftentimes with your citations or something like that. There may be a associated with it or if you're looking through, like, you know, Google scholar results or something like.
That, and you just have the 1 way that you can go about finding out whether or not Yukon library has access to that material by just using the is to actually go ahead and use our proxy link.
And you can find this through the staple lakes.
Um, uh, the live guide that I'm showing, so you can, um, actually just throw in.
Uh, sort of this basic proxy link.
And I can go ahead and copy and paste it for you.
So, if we're looking specifically at.
And I'm just throwing this in a chat real quick. So, um, here's what a proxy link would look like for a. so, it's got this. You would literally just copy.
Um, this particular, um, I guess, proxy Pre link set up and then you would add the number at the end. Um, and then that would search through our systems to see if we have access to that particular material.
Um, if we don't, um, it'll have, it'll generate a request, this item, um, uh, link that you can click onto.
And, uh, that will take you through inter library services, which we're gonna have a, a short session on, um, a little bit later. So we can.
Talk a little bit more about that, but, um, yeah, I would definitely, uh, keep tabs on that, uh, staple links, um, URL that, um, uh, I passed off to you.
It can be really handy for, you know, just grabbing that that proxy link and then adding. Um, you know, whether it's a, or, you know, a.
Yeah, a, a, um, a link from a vendor or something like that, and it can search through our system to see if we have it.
sorry for interrupting jason just wanted to know no i appreciate that uh i i appreciate that um explain it better than i can
Can I just follow up quickly with, um, I was actually thinking of it in reverse when you have articles that.
Um, are asking you for the URL.
But they don't have the, but you can get a permalink for the article. Should you be using the permalink as the for the article?
So, you're talking for, like, specific citation styles that require some sort of link at the end, you know um, I know depending on the style. I know some of them are a little bit squishy on that. Uh, whether or not that needs to be included. Um.
If it's something that you're, you know, like, interested in.
Kind of for, um, internal usage, because, you know, adding, um, our permalink to a resource isn't going to be helpful for someone that said, you know, like, for example, the University of Pittsburgh or something like that, that doesn't link it doesn't have access to our systems.
But, um, if.
If it's, uh, you know, like a paper for an class or something like that, including that link can be the permalink, uh, from our systems can be really helpful for, um, you know, the, your instructor,
whenever they're looking over the sources and easily being able to grab a link to that cause that would help.
Yeah, thank you sure. Okay so we are at the 950 point. Um.
Kate, um, did you.
Want to jump in real quick on the media resources guide.
Hi, good morning. Everyone I'm people I'm head of records and student success services. I paste it in a link to our guide.
It's a really quick, short guide on media resources and it just shows you kind of screenshots of how to search for.
Both videos and streaming resources, acting like already. So hopefully that's that's helpful.
Thanks thanks Kate. Okay so we are at 950. Jason Thank you so much for, uh, uh, participate today. We really appreciate it.
Thank you for having me and if anybody has any further questions on this particular session, I can go ahead and gather up those and we'll, we'll do our best to answer them. Um, um.
You know, in offline um, so, right now we've got a quick 5 minute break. Um, so go ahead and grab yourself a cup of coffee or whatever you need to do. And then we'll be back with Nancy Dryden for the next session.
So, thanks, everybody.
