Library Resources in Desire2Learn and Moodle

UNB Desire2Learn

Library resources appear in all Desire2Learn courses as a widget or module at the bottom of a course page's left column. Here you will find links to:

  • A subject guide of library resources chosen by your subject/departmental librarian. These resources take the form of a subject or course guide and might include indexes/databases, course reserves, UNB Worlcat searching, web links, library floor plans – basically anything that directs students to the tools they need for their course work. If you wish to have the subject guide customized to more closely suit course content, contact Marc Bragdon (mbragdon@unb.ca/458-7741) or your liaison librarian.
  • Electronic reserves. This link appears whether a course has reserves or not. If you are considering reserves (links to online articles and digitized book chapters, for example), see Course Reserves or contact your liaison librarian.
  • Library help via our "Ask us" page of links.

Activating the Library in Moodle at STU

Adding UNB Libraries resources to Moodle at STU is a two step manual process:

  1. Log into Moodle, go to your course, and turn editing on.
  2. You will add a link to library resources as a Block. Blocks appear in the right hand side of the screen, at the bottom. Add "UNB Library Resources."

The link to library resources will continue to appear as a Block on the bottom right hand side of the screen. The default resources relate to subject- or departmental-targeted resources. If you would like specific resources added or remove, please contact Marc Bragdon (mbragdon@unb.ca/458-7741) or your liaison librarian.
