We’ve just implemented Talis at our institution in Canada if anyone wants to talk further. We use Moodle.

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

I am writing to see how others are integrating library content/resources/services in Blackboard.  We have the green light from the College department managing Blackboard, so checking on how others have this set up.  Any information, screen shots, or general advice is most helpful.

Here is what we are interested in learning:



  1.  Does your library have a tab in the tab header menu that appears on every page in Blackboard? If so, what type of content have you put there? (We would love screenshots if you are able to send them!)
  2.  Does your library have content embedded in the default course menu that appears in every Blackboard course page? If so, what type of content have you put there?

Our course guides (Springshare) and reserves (Ares) are already integrated into Blackboard, so this is an extension of our library presence in Blackboard that we are hoping to get set up for fall.

Many thanks,
Kari
