Request materials from faculty
Ask the instructor for the syllabus
Can’t get the syllabus yourself? Send this ready-made request. When the instructor replies (or uploads), WyderNet builds the guide automatically.
The incentive for faculty: “hand us your syllabus and we’ll link every reading for you.” The reply lands back in WyderNet and kicks off the same flow as an upload.

Chosen for your course: History in Global Perspective — A Research Guide for History 701
Share research guide
This is exactly what your students see — the readings and one link to open each. No open-access, ILL, or status jargon.
These are your assigned readings from the syllabus, each linked to a copy you can open. This is your instructor’s list; the library added the links and the guidance below.
My tip for this course: start with Silencing the Past for the theory, then use America: History & Life for your reflection sources. Email me before the archives Flash Tour and I’ll pull relevant collections.

MVP captures guide opens, unique visitors, and per-link clicks. Because faculty paste the guide link into the syllabus, this is the syllabus → library usage the library wants to prove — and later ties to subscription renewal and student-success reporting.
