So What's The Problem?
CML’s juvenile literature collection serves a three-fold purpose

Which means…
• Amazon’s e-book sales (and other info.) can guide leisure reading trends

Moving the library resources into the students digital home - the LMS - rather than only providing resources within the library organization, we achieved a more user-centered service. Two disparate technologies were used: 1) LibGuides for creating the course guides, and 2) the widget, which is HMTL code that was added to an LMS (Moodle and JICS) and displayed in the course page.
Course Guides (using LibGuides) were created for four pilot course partners. Guides were tailored for …
Reinvigorating The Library Tour: Enhancing Student Engagement Through Library Collections, Amy Thornley
Reinvigorating The Library Tour: Enhancing Student Engagement Through Library Collections, Amy Thornley
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2010

Examples and tips for implementation will be provided.
