myLibrary

[Bouchard, Kerry]

	I guess I should add our locally-developed My Library portal to the list. We began work on it in Summer 2000, and had our first training sessions for faculty in summer 2001.  Most of the interest on our campus has been in the faculty-supplied content (automatically linking to online course reserves, and course pages that faculty create).  This is based on links to course enrollment tables, so students logging on automatically get the links to e-reserves and course guides for what they're enrolled in.
	So far about 680 non-Library staff have created My Library pages since we started it, and of these, 239 have logged on more 5 times or more.  Of the 239, 107 have selected "Nursing" as one of their subject areas of interest, so I figure a lot of these are students whose instructors have ordered them to create a My Library account in order to access Nursing Course guides.  (Current enrollment at TCU is about 6,070 full-time undergrads, 460 full-time graduate students.)
	Setting up guest accounts requires a patron record and PIN in our Circ. database, plus to illustrate the course enrollment feature I need to "enroll" the guest accounts in dummy courses.  I've been too lazy to write scripts to automate this, but will be happy to set up a guest account for anyone who wants to look at it.

Pat Leamon of NCSU Libraries (mentioned in a previous post) asked me to 
pass along her list of MyLibraries, last updated January 2002, and 
organized by those that use NCSU code and those that don't.  She also said 
that Brarydog from Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library (mentioned in 
another previous post) is the only MyLibrary type system she knows of in a 
public library setting, but that there may be some in languages she doesn't 
understand.
