Delivering Library Services through a Virtual Learning
Environment Plug-In:“Library Reading Lists.”

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
