* When students click on a link in Blackboard, a warning says, "The content below is outside of the Blackboard Learn environment." What's going on?
This is not an error message - it simply means that you are going to a page that is outside of Blackboard. If you want to avoid having this message pop up, be sure to select "Open in New Window" when adding the link to your course.
* How do I add my course reserves to my Blackboard course?

Instructors can add a link to their library course reserves in two ways: by adding a button to their course menu or by adding a link to any content area.
To add a button to the course menu:
- Point to the red + button at the top of the course menu and select Create External Link.
- Fill out the name (e.g. "Electronic Reserves" or "Course Readings") and the URL (address) of the link provided to you by the library.
- Click on the box next to "Available to users" to make the link available to students.
- Click Submit.
To add a link to a content area (e.g. “Course Documents” or “Assignments”):
- Enter a content area of your course.
- Point to Build Content on the action bar and select URL.
- Fill out a name and URL for the link.
- Click Submit.
For help with electronic reserves, please contact Alison Rusczyk in Mortensen Library at (860) 768-4965 or rusczyk@hartford.edu.
