[Web4lib] Personalizing library offerings in Blackboard

[Tim Bucknall BUCKNALL]

At UNCG, we have built a library web service that works with a locally 
constructed Blackboard building block to pull relevant databases, 
journals, and subject specialists and make them appear in relevant 
Blackboard classess on-the-fly. So, when a student enters a Blackboard 
class, the relevant library resources appear within that class context.

[Web4lib] Personalizing library offerings in Blackboard






Hi all,

I am also interested in any new and innovative ways of providing library 
services through course management systems (Blackboard specifically, but 
innovations in other systems are also of interest).  I am particularly 
interested in any efforts to personalize the content for individual 
students based on the courses they are currently enrolled in.  Does 
anybody know if this is even possible?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.  I'll summarize for the list if I 
get any off-list replies
