Hello all,

I'm wondering if I can get any recommendations for institutions doing  
interesting and relevant things to work the library/research into  
Blackboard.

I've been experimenting with making what amount to widgets for  
professors to upload into their courses. So far they include: search  
form with radio buttons for selecting one of four major databases in  
the field, links to subject guides, an IM widget for the subject  
librarian, and subject librarian contact information.

I'm looking for other ideas/tools/methods/etc. Literature on the  
topic is rare and mostly unhelpful.

Thanks,
