The Library provides a range of resources in Brightspace Discover to help students develop essential information literacy and research skills through flexible, self-paced, and interactive learning. These resources support UL’s commitment to inclusive, student-centred, and research-informed education. You can recommend your students use these resources independently, or you can integrate them with your Brightspace module sites.
Glucksman Library Assignment Toolkit
The Gluckman Library Assignment Toolkit is designed to help students through the various stages of completing a written assignment. It helps students search for relevant, high-quality information, critically evaluate information, and correctly reference sources.
This toolkit is available to all UL students but is particularly relevant for first-year students, or those returning to higher education after some time.
The Assignment Toolkit can be accessed by students independently in Brightspace Discover. Additionally, we provide a list of activities including quizzes to accompany the Assignment Toolkit. These can be embedded in your Brightspace module sites, used to support teaching, and integrated with formative or summative module assessments.
Contact us to learn more about using the Assignment Toolkit with your module or programme.
Glucksman Library Special Collections and Archives Toolkit
The Special Collections and Archives Department in the Glucksman Library at UL is dedicated to acquiring, preserving, and providing access to unique and distinct materials including rare books, manuscripts, archives, and other primary sources, as well as collections of supporting published materials.
The Glucksman Library Special Collections and Archives Toolkit illustrates how to explore these materials and explains how to find, access, and use the unique resources in research. This toolkit is relevant for students at any level interested in using rare primary sources in their research.
The Special Collections and Archives Toolkit can be accessed and used independently by students in Brightspace Discover. It can also be integrated into your Brightspace module sites, used to support teaching, and integrated with formative or summative module assessments.

The Gluckman Library Research Information Toolkit is designed to guide students on taught postgraduate research programmes through the various stages of finding relevant and high-quality information for their literature review. This toolkit may also be useful for PhD students developing foundational research skills.
The Research Information Toolkit can be accessed and used independently by students in Brightspace Discover. It can also be integrated into your Brightspace module sites, used to support teaching, and integrated with formative or summative module assessments.

Glucksman Library Getting Started with Podcasting
The Glucksman Library Getting started with Podcasting course introduces students to the podcasting tools and spaces available in the Glucksman Library.
The Getting Started with Podcasting course can be accessed independently by students in Brightspace Discover.
