Library presence in Blackboard/LMS

[KLINGLER, THOMAS]

In addition to these, at Kent State we use a cool reading list plugin from EBSCO that lets the faculty member do an EDS (EBSCO Discovery Service) search and easily embed selected results into their BB course.

 And we've just deployed Ares as our next generation e-reserves product; Ares integrates into BB as well, so the student can click right from their BB course into their Ares e-reserves content.

Hi all,

One of your instruction librarians just started putting library modules in our institution's BB this spring. From our blog: https://library.citytech.cuny.edu/blog/new-library-modules-in-blackboard/

I think both students and faculty will see the same custom boxes when they log in. I haven't seen it myself yet, but I believe its a search to our discovery tool, a link to our website, and general info (hours, contact, etc.). 

Best,
Junior

We have a link for "Library" in every course shell that sends them directly to the corresponding libguide for that course or to the library homepage if there is no libguide. It's a simple piece of middleware we wrote that is based off a database table of links our librarians maintain.

To those of you at academic libraries that have a presence in Blackboard (or your institution's LMS), what do you have there?  Bonus points if you can share a link that's publicly available.

Our college is going through a reorganization of our Blackboard site.  They will be offering us a library tab at the top. (woo hoo!)  Our options range from creating custom boxes with info that show up depending on who's logged in (student, faculty, etc.), creating some general links to our research guides and such, or just pointing the tab to the library website.
