The Blackboard building block that is available as part of the Cornell University Library Reserves system allows both instructors and students to access course reserves from the Blackboard. The Blackboard Building Block provides access to course reserves functions available through the full Cornell University Library Reserve system's web interface.
Instructors, TA's and course builders, can place requests, monitor the processing of their requests, and copy requests from past courses into their current course. Students are supplied with a full list of library reserve materials, both electronic and print. In the case of print reserves students are supplied with a call number, reserves location and the current availability, or due date of a print item.
To start using the new Cornell University Library Reserves system in conjunction with your Blackboard course please follow the instruction in Activating the Building Block.
After the Blackboard building block has been activated you may either create or link an existing library reserves list to your Blackboard course by following the directions in Using the Course Reserves Building Block.
If you have any questions, or problems please contact your local reserves desk.
