University Libraries is committed to the teaching mission of the University.

Even though all WMU Libraries facilities are closed to the public through Saturday, April 25, many essential services are still available and can be integrated into Elearning. These services include reference and research consultation services, document delivery, interlibrary loan, and research instruction are still available. 

This guide walks you through the various student and instructor focused resources that can easily be integrated into Elearning.

• Embedded Elearning Research Instruction : It is possible for faculty and instructors to embed librarians into their online learning classes. We can be added to the class using the unique designation of "librarian." giving us permission to add content to e-learning without seeing student grades. We have many learning objects ready and primed for an online learning environment, including videos, screen capture, infographics, and student learning assessments.
