Linking to Electronic Reserves from Blackboard Vista

If you use both Blackboard Vista and ERes (Electronic Reserves), you can create a convenient link from your Blackboard Vista course to your course's Electronic Reserves material. Here's how to do it:

  1. Select Web Links from the menu.
  2. Click on the Create Web Link button.
  3. For the Title, type in "Electronic Reserves" or a phrase of your choice.
  4. Add a Description if you wish.
  5. For the Web Address (URL) use:
    http://reserves.library.kent.edu/eres/coursepage.aspx?cid=XXX
    substituting your ERes course id in place of "XXX" (if you don't know your course id, contact Reserve Services at 330-672-7906).
  6. Select options as you would for any other URL.

Be sure you tell the class what the ERes course password is--the students will be prompted for it when they use these links.
