Want to enhance your Blackboard course space by integrating library materials? You can work with a librarian to create customized course materials or add links to existing materials and services.

All Blackboard courses at UVM already include a link to:

Customized Content and Services

In addition to adding links to the materials listed above, you may wish to have your Library Liaison provide specialized materials or support for your class. Possible ideas include:
