Consider the following questions. What did I do? What went well and how do I know it went well? How do I know that this has had an impact? What difference does it make to the student who uses it/accesses it/gets involved in it? What changes in behaviour have you noticed? What would I change another time? If you personally were not doing the 'thing' how would students continue to access this service/resource etc? ie is it sustainable?
Got an idea that you want to contribute to the list of case studies in the pages of this Guide? Great! Please just add them to this form.
Embedding library content in Moodle helps students for whom more and more online content is delivered through their course on Moodle. The VLE becomes a one-stop shop for them. A link to details of how the following libraries are using Moodle can be found below this list of libraries:
Libraries provide support for Teaching and Learning and this implies that the information contained in this model is focused primarily on taught courses including Master's courses. However, many of the specific case studies can be applied to the PhD students too.
SUMMARY IDEAS:

Ideas to consider - in addition look at the CUP webinars, or the CCTL Guides.

Case Studies available
For many more links for advice for remote teaching and training, the CCTL site has plenty of advice for academics which will be relevant, including links to the webinars run by CUP during May. We also have documentation produced by Bea Gini and colleagues before Easter Term which will be useful to browse.
There are a LOT of references that could be included here so this list is just a taster of a few items that you might find useful when considering pros and cons of moving online for libraries supporting teaching and learning:
