Moodle and Library Resources

This LibGuide is designed to help faculty to make use of the library's many resources and embed them in their Moodle courses.

The guide is updated as needed based on faculty needs and any changes resource providers make over time.

If you have any questions or comments, you can leave a comment here. You can also contact Angel Rivera about any issue related to library resources and integrating into Moodle.

It is advisable to make links (rather than copies) wherever possible.

Hutchins Library subscribes to a large number of subscription databases; you can find our list of electronic resources at this link: https://libraryguides.berea.edu/az.php. Our agreements with the resource vendors allow use of licensed material for research, instruction, and educational purposes. Commercial use of licensed material is not allowed under the terms of our database licences. Generally the licence terms allow you to print or download a copy of an article for yourself and to post persistent links to journal articles from a course website, like Moodle.

Yes. When you link to the article, your students may have access to additional features from the database not offered by a PDF. For example:

• Some databases, like EBSCO databases, provide audio recording of an article. The recording will read the full article. This may be useful to visually impaired students as well as students with learning styles that may favor an audio of text.
• Some databases provide options to translate an article into other languages.
• When you link, for many articles, the students will still have access to the PDF.
