Library Resources - Faculty

Coastline faculty are the "door" to the Coastline Online Library for many students. We are happy to work with you and enhance your classes with library resources and personal librarian support.

Faculty Support / Resources

• Library Workshops in Canvas

  Library Workshops in Canvas

  The Coastline Library offers online Library Workshops in Canvas. Currently, we have:

  • Avoiding Plagiarism Workshop (1 hour)
  • Advanced APA Citation Skills Workshop (1.5-2 hours)
  • Advanced MLA Citation Skills Workshop (1.5-2 hours)
  • Library Orientation Workshop (1 hour)
  • Internet Searching Workshop (1 hour)
  • Online Privacy and Security Workshop (1 hours)

  Faculty can make the Library Workshop of their choice an assignment in their course. Students who complete a library workshop earn a Certificate of Completion PDF they can upload to the assignment in Canvas. It is suggested the assignment allow students to upload the certificate late (up to five days) so the library can get things scored if there is a rush =). The date the student completes the workshop is on their Certificate of Completion. Workshops close the Thursday before the final week of the semester at 11:55pm.
  
  Here are some suggested assignment language and the self-enroll link for the workshops.

  BTW - the enrollment link stays the same so faculty can use this every semester. We (the library) change the link on the backend so it will direct to the new workshop each semester.

  Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)

  It is the law that each semester faculty need to enter textbook information in the online bookstore, even if their class does not have a textbook or has a free textbook, so students can see the "whole cost of a class" per the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). This is called the "textbook adoption" process.
