[Web4lib] Moodle and libraries

[Geer, Caroline]

Greetings, Pierre,

Our university uses Blackboard for its course sites, so I created a course for the Library within Blackboard called Library Information Resources.  The downside was that I had to manually add each student to enroll them in our course.

Recently, we upgraded to Blackboard 7.1, and now there is a Library Area, so everyone automatically has access.  The downside is that I have to build that area from scratch, but it is good to rethink the folder structure!

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Hi to all,

Our university just installed Moodle to replace WebCT as our course mangement systems. We (the libraries) were not present in the WebCt environment, but now that we've change systems, I was wondering what could we do with Moodle ? Does anyone use Moodle (or any couse management system) for promoting libraries services ? I found that Carleton College offer theses services<https://apps.carleton.edu/campus/library/for_faculty/faculty_working/libe_moodle/integrating_resources/>for
integrating library resources, is there other ways that we ould use Moodle? Do you have some exemples ?

thanks,
