Linking e-Reserves to Blackboard Course Pages

Create a link to your eReserves folder in your my.Gallaudet Course

When the Library has scanned eReserves articles for your course, you will still need to make a link from your course to your eReserves to share those articles with your students. Here's how to do this:

1. Login to my.gallaudet.edu
2. Click link to go to your course
3. Click the menu item on the left navigation bar that corresponds to the part of your course where would like your link to the eReserves to be available  (it must be a menu item for a Content area,  for example, Assignments, rather than a Tools area)
4. Click "Edit View" link on upper right to access the instructor toolbar
5. Click Add Item on toolbar
6. On the Add Item form, give your new item a title, for example, "Link to eReserves".
7. Scroll down to the labeled section: 2: Content
8. Next to Link to Content Collection Item, click Browse (even though you will be making a link to a folder)
9. Click icon for Library Content on left on the pop-up window to the Content Collection
10. Select eReserves folder.
11. Find the folder labeled for your course, section and semester
12. Select it by clicking on the radio button next to the folder for your course and section
13. Click Submit button at lower right of your window to finish making your eReserve articles available to students.
