At Loughborough we've currently got a home grown VLE, which is slated to 
be replaced by Moodle in a year or so.  "Learn" (as the current system is 
known) links to several of the Library systems such as the LORLS reading 
list system.  Here students pick modules on their courses and so the 
module code is a natural link between such systems, especially as Learn is 
structured based on courses and modules.  From the link to the LORLS page 
for the module the students can then navigate to the web OPAC, our SFX 
server, online electronic resources, etc, etc.
