School Library Media Program FAQs
How do I print PowerPoint presentations from Blackboard? How do I order textbooks for my courses?
1.  Login to Blackboard and select your course.

2.  Go to Course Documents and PowerPoints from Class Lectures.

3.  Right click over the words "Click here for the PowerPoint on ..."

4.  Choose "Save Target As" and save the PowerPoint to the location of choice (ex.  A: drive, C: drive, My Documents, Desktop, etc.)

5.  Now you can open the PowerPoint presentation from its saved location and print as you normally do.

*(Note:  There are other means by which to print PowerPoints, but this one seems failsafe for a PC, as long as you have PowerPoint installed on the PC.)

1.  Call the Longwood Bookstore at 434-391-1240.  

2.  Tell them the course for which you need texts.  For example, EDSL503: Media Selection and Evaluation.

3.  You will be asked for your mailing address and credit card information.

4.  For a small shipping fee, your books will be shipped out to you via UPS.
How do I set my Student Email to forward to my preferred email address?
1.  Information regarding your Live mail account can be found at http://www.longwood.edu/helpdesk/student_email.htm 

2.  Instructions for setting your Live mail to forward to your preferred email address can be found at http://www.longwood.edu/helpdesk/studentemail/forward.htm
 
How do I access the journal articles in the Library's databases from off campus, if I have the article citation? How do I access my grades?

 
1.  Go to the Longwood Library Web page at http://www.longwood.edu/library/

2.  Click on Find Articles.

3. Click on Journal Finder.

4.  Choose to either Find or Browse journals by title, for example, under Browse click on N to locate NASSP Bulletin.

5.  Scroll down to the journal title, in this case, NASSP Bulletin. It should show as being available online in Wilson OmniFile Full Text Select.

6. Click on Wilson OmniFile Full Text Select.  You will be prompted to enter your LancerNetid and password.

7.  Click on the volume, issue, and date of the journal.  In this case, for example, from your citation, you know that the article is in the March 1999 issue.

8.  Scroll down through the contents of the journal until you locate your article, "Teaching the Research Process," by McGregor, J.H. 

9.  In many cases, you can choose to open the article in HTML or PDF.  Also, you may either save the article, print it, or email it to yourself.

*You can, of course, follow this same process to access any journal article for which you have the citation that is included in one of the databases to which the Longwood Library subscribes.

 

 1.  Login to MyLongwood at http://my.longwood.edu to access your grades.

2.  Remember that grade sheets are no longer mailed out.  If your school system needs an official grade report, you can go to the following link and request that an official transcript be sent:  http://www.longwood.edu/registrar/transcr.htm  

 
I've completed my program.  How do I have Library Media added as an endorsement on my teaching license?
1.  Go to the Virginia Department of Education Web site at http://www.doe.virginia.gov/VDOE/newvdoe/Application.pdf

2.  Print out page 7 of this pdf file, the College Verification Form.

3.  Complete Part I of the form.

4.  Send it to Dr. Connie Ballard, Director, Office of Professional Services, Longwood University.  Dr. Ballard is the University licensure officer.

5.  Dr. Ballard will complete Parts II and III and return the form to you.

6.  Either you or your employing school division will then submit the form and the required fee to the Virginia Department of Education so that Library Media PreK-12 is added as an endorsement to your teaching license.
