Institutional Search

The Institution Search tool can be accessed in any of four different locations:

• The Blackboard top frame
• A standard Search LX Portal module
• A Search module in the left column of a module tab
• The Tools area in the left column of a module tab

 

Access via any of these locations is dependent on where your institution's System Administrator has enabled the tool.

Top Frame Search

If this access point has been enabled by the System Administrator, a search text box will appear in the upper right corner of the Blackboard header frame.

 

 

If enabled, access the Search tool from the top frame.

Portal Module

If this access point has been enabled by the System Administrator, a portal module will be available to the specified group of users. The Search LX module may be added to any tab containing modules.

Note: Availability of this module depends on the permissions for each particular role set by the System Administrator.

 

 

If enabled for your role, access the Search icon from the Search LX portal module.

Note: The name of this link can be specified by the System Administrator.
