Abstract

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

Chapter 5 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 54, no. 5), “Migrating Electronic Reserves to Springshare at PSU,” discusses the process of migrating to Springshare’s E-Reserves electronic reserve system and integrating E-Reserves into the course management system Canvas using the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard and tools available with Springshare’s suite of library services. The author discusses differences in metadata needed to seamlessly integrate both E-Reserves and LibGuides and some of the practical challenges of transitioning library services simultaneously with migrating to a new course management system.
