This document discusses how UW Libraries tools and resources can be integrated into online courses to better serve students taking classes through Educational Outreach. It provides examples of research guides, LibGuides, a chat widget for 24/7 research help, and online tutorials that can be embedded directly into online courses. The purpose is to give students easy access to library resources from within their learning environment.

- 4. Why Put Libraries Content in Online Courses?Students want “just in time” resources that fit within their specific learning context.Embedding Libraries content in the online course puts resources and services at their fingertips.Time after time we hear “I wish I’d known about this when I started my class months ago”.Connects students to expensive UW content, like e-journals, books and research databases, that librarians have carefully chosen.

- 13. Product, pricing, promotion and distribution channels of IT Outsource companies? Do you know where I could find this info?As a current extension student (an evening program in sports medicine), how can I access journals from the UW library for research for a paper for this class?How can I get information that is in a book in the library if I'm a distance student? I'm still learning how to use this database, and I admit, I'm not having much luck. If I can find an abstract, do you have services that copy and mail journal articles to my home? I teach an online course for UW Educational Outreach. May I check out books from the UW library system?

- 17. UW WorldCatOne-stop-shopping tool for finding materials (primarily books)Allows quick ordering via Interlibrary Loan and SummitNo need for user to know where materials originatedSocial features similar to Amazon allow for saving and sharing searches, and “Browse similar titles”

Editor's Notes
- #10: Allows you to map library resources to the curriculum – this is an example from another institution. Could we do this with EO courses?
- #16: WorldCat Local is a unique online catalog. We are the first to implement this catalog.Simple search box that searches materials at UW, Summit (the Oregon & Washington academic libraries shared catalog), and libraries worldwidereduce complexity for the user. we already had 3 catalogs, 3 request/delivery environments and interfaces and hundreds of databases. Allows requesting of materialsResources that are owned by the UW Libraries, including books, journals, media, government publications, maps, and moreCollectively more than 30 million article citationsChanges based on constant user testing and feedback. ILL:Health Sciences library users must pay for materials that are obtained from other institutions. All library users must pay to have print materials that are owned by the UW Libraries scanned and delivered to their desktops.
