These workshops, hosted by CITES EdTech and the Library, will provide examples of how you can embed library resources into your course.  Subject librarians will work to add relevant links and resources into subject specific folders using Illinois Compass.  They will also show you possibilities for working together to create a customized  Library Resources page for your students.  Other new Illinois Compass features will be demonstrated.

Sessions are coordinated by discipline.  Even if you have never used Illinois Compass or don't see your subject area listed, please feel free to sign up for a session that works for you.
