ACCESS TO LEARNING RESOURCES
(CONTINUED)
• The Journal List shows you which online journals
are accessible through the Library’s subscriptions
and which years of coverage are provided. This is
handy when you are looking for e-journals to explore
or when you have a citation and want to see if the
Library has the article available online.
• When accessing online resources, you will be asked
to login with your NWTC ID and password.
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 Embed/Link under the video 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, switch to HTML Code View, 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
http://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
HOW DO I USE THEM?
In the Classroom
• Project an online video or segments of a video
for your class to view together.
• Project part of an ebook for your class to view
together. You can even sign in to Ebook Central
in advance and take notes. You can even sign in to
ebrary in advance and take notes. Then you can
bring up those pages and show both the ebook and
your notes.
• Ask your students to use Library Search to find
articles on a topic and report out to the rest of the
class as part of an assignment. Students would just
need to login using their NWTC ID and password.
Out of the Classroom
• Send a link to your students to review a video that
was shown in class or to watch a video outside of
class. Students would just need to login using their
NWTC ID and password.
• Create a free account in Films on Demand to make a
playlist of several videos or segments.
Then send the playlist URL to your students to watch
after they login. This makes it easier to keep track of
which videos you want everyone in the class to watch.
• Share articles or pages from e-books that you have
downloaded or link to the ebooks or sections of the
books.
• Tell students to use Library Search to research
topics in journals or ebooks for assignments or
homework. Students would just need to login using
their NWTC ID and password.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
