Abstract

Chapter 2 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 54, no. 5), “Integrating the Library in the Learning Management System”

The transition to a new LMS provided Penn State University Libraries with the opportunity to reach out to stakeholders and assess what library and research resources they expected to see in the LMS. Chapter 2 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 54, no. 5), “Tell Us a Story: Canvas Integration Strategy,” addresses the process of information collection through surveys and user stories, as well as their application in the decision-making process.
