Overview • Why are librarians interested in Learning Management Systems? What is an “embedded librarian?” • Embedding SJSU Library Resources in Canvas • Examples from other universities and other LMS
Challenges faced by Academic Libraries • Connecting the right student to the right resource at the right time • Connecting the right librarian to the right student when and where the student really needs help (Embedded Librarians) • Insuring appropriate/legal use of library resources and collecting good statistics
How can LMS help Libraries? • Class specific web pages that students have to use • Well-integrated into student workflow • Opportunity for interaction and feedback
STIM LMS Subcommittee • STIM is the CSU Library System-wide Technology Initiatives Management Committee • Will Breitbach, Chair, Fullerton • Bin Zhang, Sacramento • David Walker, Chancellor's Office • Ian Chan, San Marcos • Steve Watkins, Monterey Bay
STIM LMS Subcommittee Charge The LMS Subcommittee formed to look at ways CSU Libraries can integrate library content and services into LMSs… the committee will work to improve communication between interested parties. As a first step, the committee will plan a CSU wide webinar where interested individuals can share ideas. Second, the committee will establish a repository of information documenting successful library content and service LMS integration.
