Karen Rupp-Serrano of University Libraries has asked me to share some new tools that the library staff has created to assist students in using the online library resources. The tutorials they have created are excellent and are already being used in some of the College's online courses. However, these may be useful for any of your courses, regardless of delivery format. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Rupp-Serrano. Thanks.

Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 2:34 PM To: Cozart, Karen L. Subject: library tutorials and D2L quiz Want your students to gain library skills but don't have time to bring them to the library? University Libraries now offers online instruction tutorials that demonstrate how to use many of the Libraries' online services and resources. Designed for all website users, including distance education users, the instruction tutorials employ audio narration, interactive features, and simulation. To view the instruction tutorials visit http://libraries.ou.edu/help/tutorials. A Desire2Learn quiz has been created for use with the library tutorials. A copy of the quiz is attached. If you are interested in using the quiz, please contact Karen Rupp-Serrano ([log in to unmask]) to be added as an instructor to the quiz/course. From there you can follow instructions at the quiz/course website to import the quiz into your D2L course. The tutorials and quiz will be regularly updated to reflect changes in the library website. Expect to see new tutorials on plagiarism later in the academic year. Thanks for your help in spreading the word. Let me know if I can return the favor sometime.
