BlackBoardand Sakai
Many of the classes at the library school take advantage of web-based systems to compliment the classroom experience. The school also offers a limited number of online classes that also take advantage of these systems. 

Blackboard and Sakai logins are created by your professor, and typically are different than your University computing login and your Cardinal Station login. If you have multiple courses in Blackboard, WebCT, or Sakai, you may request that all your courses be consolidated under one username for each system.  Please contact your professor for details.

Saiid Ganjalizadeh, 202-319-6411, in the Academic Services department is available to help faculty set up online courses utilizing these web-based systems.
