Library Reading Lists

• This presentation describes the creation and implementation of a Moodle Plug-in

• The plug-in gives the Library an expanded presence within the virtual learning environment, and provides an opportunity for

delivering multiple library services directly into Moodle.

• The main way that this plug-in has been used so far is to give academic staff the ability to include relevant reading lists in each

module. I will spend most of the presentation speaking about Reading Lists.

Library Reading Lists• To assist further collection development:– Quantify what staff need that is not in the library– Quantify what we already have and how well used

• Give students access to the lists (and potentially other resources, in the future) through their course page in Moodle

• Enhance the working relationship with the teaching staff.

In the context of WIT, the Plug-in Is Mainly an End Point for our Reading List service

So, let’s move focus to the Reading List software before

we return to the Moodle Plug-in
