Research Guides
Wake Tech Librarians offer these research guides (opens in a new window) specifically for your subject areas or your specific course or assignment. These guides provide specifically chosen resources, strategies for research, and tutorials for your students. You can work with a librarian to create a customized guide for your course or specific assignment(s).
For further information, contact the Instructional Librarian (opens in a new window) on your campus.
Embedded Librarians in Blackboard
An instructor will set up a library discussion board within their Blackboard course for students to ask their class librarian questions throughout the semester. For this option, an Eagle Assist (opens in a new window) must be submitted by the Instructor. (You may have to login after clicking this link.) The Instructor will ask for the Instructional Librarian on their campus to be put into the class as an instructor or TA so they can respond to the discussion board.
