Many courses have required course materials linked directly in your classroom Resources for each week. Required course materials can include articles, book chapters and videos.

Tip: Always check your classroom weekly Resources for required course materials first!

If you do not see course materials linked in your classroom Resources section, check the Course Guides. Some courses have required course materials linked in Course Guides. If required Resources in the classroom state they are found in the Library, these resources will be linked on the Course Guides.

Here are the steps to find Course Guides from the Library's homepage: 

  1. Identify your four letter, four number course code located in your myWalden portal (e.g. NURS 6001).
  2. From the Library homepage, click on the Course Guides button.
  3. On the left side of the screen, click on the letter that corresponds to the first letter of your course code.
  4. Select the tab with your course code (e.g. NURS).
  5. Click on your course from the list of courses. 


     
  6. Scroll down to the Required Course Readings box.  All of the required Library materials for your class will be linked.
  7. Click on the item you need. You may be prompted to sign in with your Walden user name and password.

     

Tips: 

  • A message that your course materials are available in your classroom means that any required materials will be in the Resources section of your classroom.
  • If there are no required Library materials for your course, there may not be a course guide.
  • Some course guides have help for specific assignments requiring library research. If the course has assignment help, you will see a tab for that week’s assignment on the left side of the guide.
  • The Library does not have most textbooks. You will typically not find textbooks linked in the Course Guides or your classroom. You are responsible for purchasing most textbooks.
