[Eril-l] Question on library content in Blackboard

[Ken Chad]

Hi Kari,
This looks like exactly the kind of issue that (library centric)
reading/resource list solutions like Talis Aspire, Ex Libris Leganto,
SirsiDynix BLUEcloud course lists and Kortext Ketyinks have been
designed to solve. There is more about them on the Higher Education Library
Technology (HELibTech) Reading/resource list page
https://www.helibtech.com/reading_resource_lists . I wrote an open access
'briefing paper' on them in 2018 which you may find useful
https://www.kenchadconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Rise_of_library_centric-_readlinglists_July2018.pdf

These solutions are typically tightly integrated into learning
management systems like Blackboard to embed the resources. In this way they
present students (typically undergraduates) with all the resources they
need for their course/module sometimes down to the week of study. These
might be 'library' resources (i.e. material purchased and managed by the
library) including books (print and e), textbooks, digitised chapters or
'learning resources' (purchased by faculty/department) or other kinds of
resources (websites, videos online lectures etc). Specified resources on
the list may be annotated by faculty as 'essential' or 'recommended' for
example.

Such solutions also integrate with the ILS to, for example, prompt for
additional copies to be purchased. Reading/resource list solutions are now
ubiquitous in  UK Higher Ed libraries and also popular Australia and New
Zealand and some other countries. They are now gaining traction in US HE
libraries.Some lists are open and viewable to the public. Here is a list
from Birmingham University (not via the learning management system - you
have to be a student to access it from there)

Hope that helps
