Faculty Services @ Spiva Library

Our reference librarians have created LibGuides (web pages) with helpful suggestions on sources and search strategies for various topics and sources by department.  You can ask your liaison librarian to create a guide to support a research assignment in a specific course. Find existing guides by going to the LibGuides homepage and following the links to your discipline to select a guide. 

Adding a guide to your Blackboard course works best if you have a specific guide title in mind to use, either one created by your librarian specifically for your course, or one of the generic guides to a subject.

2. Log in to BlackBoard and select the Course in which you wish to place the link
3. Select the Content Area (open folder)
   
4. Select, 'Build Content', then 'Web Link'
   

5.  In the form that opens, type the name of the LibGuide, paste the guide URL, add a description, select other options as desired, then click, Submit.

The link should now be available within the content folder to which you added it.
