We are in the process of transitioning all discussion boards from the old WebBoard system into the Learning Management System within MySLC and no new WebBoards are being created. If you would like assistance with this transition, please contact Emily Sharp at esharp@slc.edu or x2464.
If you are seeing this page but have already transitioned to MySLC, you may be interested in the Discussion board documentation for faculty and/or students.
Update: WebBoard discontinuation date set for December 19, 2008. Read the full WebBoard discontinuation notice.

The announcements portlet allows a faculty or staff member to make an announcement to the student body and/or students in their classes. The announcements portlet does not email the students (see Email Class) but rather displays the announcement in the announcement portlet anywhere that portlet appears when they are logged in to MySLC. In each announcements portlet on each different page each user will see all announcements targeted to them from any MySLC user.

We’ve just added a new feature to the Home page of MySLC for faculty called My Courses. This makes it easy to navigate to any of your courses – past, present, or future – without having to do a search under the Academics tab.

When the term ends, the links under My Courses will disappear. However, you can still access the course areas by using the search function on the Academics tab (or the My Courses portlet on your home page). Click on the Academics tab at the top of your screen and you will see the main Academics page. At the top in the middle of the page you will see the Course Search portlet.

We import the new classes around June 15 of each year.
The 2008-2009 classes which are currently finalized have been imported into the LMS as of June 17, 2008.
If your course does not appear when searching, make sure you have correctly submitted it through the proper channels.

There are two tools that will allow you to do this, the File Cabinet and Course Copy. If you have E-Reserves you want to move over, please take a look at the article on transferring E-Reserves first.

If you do use File Cabinet for E-Reserves or Course Copy for your Course Resources page this will break the links to the E-Reserve texts and your students will not be able to access them. You must email reserves@slc.edu to advise Reserve staff which readings you will be using for your new course, or use the online form (http://pages.slc.edu/~library/dbforms/ts/reserves/form/) to submit new requests.

Right now our policy is to maintain access to MySLC for students post-graduation, and access to courses after the term is over, which means they will be able to look back on materials from past courses. However, students will not be able to post new messages on the discussion board or have access to E-Reserve texts (for copyright reasons) after the semester ends.

The SLC Library subscribes to many full text databases, providing access to more than 10,600 periodicals. A complete alphabetical listing of the Library’s online periodical subscriptions may be viewed here.
Most articles in research databases have been assigned dynamic URLs. If you attempt to bookmark a dynamic URL or include a link to it in your syllabus, chances are it will be a dead link the next time you try to access it.
