Library Instruction

Research Guides

Wake Tech Librarians offer research guides (opens in a new window) specifically for your course or subject. These guides provide helpful resources, strategies for research, and tutorials. You can work with a librarian to create a customized guide.

For further information, contact your campus's instructional services librarian here, (opens in a new window.)

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, a SchoolDude must be submitted by the Instructor. The Instructor will ask for Suvanida (opens in a new window) to be put into the class as an “observer” so she can respond to the discussion board.
