Library Services - Selected E-Learning Resources Introduction
We would like to introduce to you a new e-database subscribed by LC.
(Access to Electronic Databases)
Artstor
- Artstor is an online database with complete image resources. It contains 300 collections composed of over 2.5 million images, in wide-ranging materials such as Native American art from the Smithsonian, treasures from the Louvre, and panoramic, 360-degree views of the Hagia Sophina.
- Please feel free to use this rich resource to support student projects preparation.
Library Services - Past Examination Papers
The Databases for the THEi Examination Papers were completed by April 2020. In summer 2020, temporary storage of final exam papers in THEi Moodle will be moved to the existing Examination Papers Databases on the VTC Library website.
Library Services - Leganto – a Reading List Plug-in for Library System
A new plug-in, Leganto, will be available for the Alma library system to help instructors create Reading List to share with students in Moodle’s course. As Leganto is a part of the library network, the list of readings links up to the library catalogue to display the item's status in real-time. It makes searching and reviewing module references much easier for students.
A webinar will be organized before the new AY2020/2021 begins.
In the first year of the implementation, library staff will be enrolled in each Module in Moodle to prepare the Reading List. Library staff will follow-up with the library collection status.
