TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT
Library Resources
Transcripted credit instructors and students have the same level of access to NWTC learning resources ( libraries , laboratories , databases , etc .) as post-secondary students and instructors .
How Do I Find Library Materials ?
If you are teaching NWTC coursework in high school , you and your students have access to NWTC Library Resources , please see below for more information :
• Use Library Search ( located at nwtc . edu / Library ) to search all of the NWTC Library ’ s resources at once or to just search the Catalog ( No Articles ) or the online Journal List .
• After searching , you will see a resource list that allows you to filter the results . You can limit by resource type , location , date , subject , and more . You can even limit right away to Films on Demand online videos or eBook Central ebooks .
• You can use the Advanced Search feature to limit to discipline before searching . This helps when you are searching for articles and want to focus the search on subject-specific databases . You can even limit right away to items from Films on Demand or Ebook Central .
• The Catalog Only search is useful when you do not want to see all of the journal articles in your results . It provides results for anything that the Library has cataloged ( books , ebooks , videos , online videos , audio , and journals ). t
The NWTC Library has created a series of very short videos to help students learn the software skills needed to succeed at the College ( using the student portal , email , Blackboard , Office 365 , printing , finding and citing sources , accessing help , and saving files ).

How Do I Access Films On Demand ?
• You can use Library Search to find online videos , or you can visit our Films on Demand guide and use the link provided there – nwtc . libguides . com / films
• If you search Films on Demand directly , your results will show both titles ( entire videos ) and segments ( video clips ). You can use the links on the right to limit your results .
• When you find videos you like , remember to scroll down and click on Share under the video then Embed / Link , to see the Record , Title or Segment URL . Copy that URL to share with students or to save ( never use the URL at the top of your browser since it will not work off-campus ). You could also use the Embed Code to embed the video directly into Blackboard Learn ( just copy the code , create a new item in Blackboard Learn , click the Plus Icon on the right , and paste in the Embed Code ).
• You are also able to create playlists or save videos in folders if you first create your own free account in Films on Demand .
How Do I Access Ebook Central ?
• You can access Ebook Central through Library Search or by going directly to ebookcentral . proquest . com / lib / nwtc-ebooks .
• You will need to login with your NWTC ID and password when you start to open ebooks or if you wish to save books to your bookshelf or make notes .
• You can read books online or download pages or chapters to share with your students in Blackboard or via email .
To link to ebooks , follow the instructions at nwtc . libguides . com / ebrary
