IntroductionIntroduction
Diana Laurillard, author of Rethinking University Teaching (Laurillard, 2002) reiterated what should be a commonplace: that “A university is defined by the quality of its academic conversations, not by the technologies that service them.”

“Scientists who read more tend to get achievement awards and other special honors. In universities, those whose teaching has been honored read about 26 percent more articles, while those honored for research read about 33 percent more articles.”

In 2002/03, CARL academic libraries subscribed to 297,108 electronic journals, representing 46% of their serials subscriptions, and the number is growing.

“... the average essay grade is … a whole 2 grade points improved over last year. I suspect this is in no small part due to you and your excellent orientation.”
330,000 students at CARL institutions receive instruction

Librarian involvement core value (2)Librarian involvement core value (2)
College students’ self-efficacy in electronic information searching was significantly higher after library instruction.
Frequent use of library electronic databases correlated with self-efficacy, and posttraining self-efficacy correlated with grade points.

SFU Librarians: reasons for library/CMS integrationSFU Librarians: reasons for library/CMS integration
‘Value of going back’ esp. for ESL students; students learn at own pace
Students preference to stay inside domain (webct); students ‘live’ in WebCt; learning is contextual
Avoid reinvention of library wheel
IFLA 2005: CMS and Library Inf. Sys. Interoperability Issues
General issues from SFU Librarians:General issues from SFU Librarians:
Library a ‘resource’ within WebCT but not within context
Building content within course:– Information dates and must be re-copied– Need to make multiple copies of the same material for
multiple courses or sections– Quiz content not easily imported
Student evaluation within course Student reluctant to leave course environment to
access important information
IFLA 2005: CMS and Library Inf. Sys. Interoperability Issues
General LMS/library integration issues:General LMS/library integration issues:
Copying rather than linking of content Authentication/authorized vs. open environment –
esp. in multi-institutional environment Authentication/authorization - persistence Cross-course referral/links within one platform Cross course/platform evaluation Integration in planning should extend:
– DE model, f2f model Student preference for familiar
