[Web4lib] Blackboard Scholar- Linking to Library Resources?

[Edward Corrado]

Hi Lisa,

We do not use Blackboard Scholar, but we have integrated our new 
acquitions into our home grown course managem,ent system using RSS. 
Since I haven't used Blackboard Scholar, I'm not sure how this works 
with it,  but if it can take RSS feeds, it should. You can read about 
our project at either:

      1, 2007/. Chicago: Association of College and Research Libraries.

If you interested in the CiL article, you may wish to find either a 
print copy or look for a pdf in a database as it is more readable (not 
to mention prettier) than the HTML version on the Infotoday Web site.
