Extending the approach that Eric mentioned this morning, we've implemented a way that \
eliminates the need for middleware. We do this by (1) establishing a consistent \
naming convention for our course-related LibGuides, based on Blackboard template \
variables and (2) leveraging a custom building block to direct users to the correct \
LibGuide based on this same information.  Such was our strategy to seamlessly \
transition to LibGuides from our coURses system last year without jeopardizing our \
Blackboard presence.  We've starting exploring SpringShare's LTI capabilities so we \
can transition away from our custom Blackboard code.

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.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Library presence in Blackboard/LMS

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.
