The Neumann Library
at UHCL maintains an extensive catalog of subject- and course-specific Research
Guides. Each Research Guide has been created by UHCL librarians to help students
find, learn about, and use scholarly information resources and services. Each
guide’s Home tab provides links to databases that are specifically relevant to
the subject area or course for which the guide was developed. The page also
provides quick email links that students can use to contact specific research
librarians for more assistance.
Other tabs on the research guide provide students with easy
access to general resources, tips for effective research and academic writing,
and information about other library services. If your course requires students
to research and write, the use of a research guide may be a valuable resource
for you and your students. It’s a fairly simple process to locate a research
guide and then place a link to that guide into your Blackboard course. UCT’s
Course Development & Support Team, in collaboration with the Neumann
Library, has developed a handout that demonstrates how to locate a research
guide on the library’s web site, copy its web address (or URL), and use the URL
to provide a quick link in your Blackboard course that will take students
directly to the research guide. The PDF document, Adding ResearchGuides to Blackboard, is available on the library’s Linking to Library Resources web page.
