Often students are referred to the library's website for research, but new tools allow faculty to embed library resources within their course webpage or learning management system. The presentation will demonstrate the embedding process for several resources through utilization of Javascript or HTML and permanent URLs. Resources included are databases, e-books, e-journals, articles and catalog records. Tools that assist students in the research and writing process will also be highlighted. In addition, an institutional repository to organize and showcase faculty scholarship and learning objects will be introduced.
