Support for SRU allows institutions to embed their repository in their VLE Keele University are currently implementing the Blackboard Enterprise (ex-WebCT) intraLibrary PowerLink They will be rolling out to academics in time for the next semester They are using intraLibrary to manage their digitised copyright materials collection, to produce reports for the Copyright Licensing Authority, and to open these resources to academics for embedding directly into Blackboard without having to log into the repository. Oxford Brookes and several others are also looking at using the PowerLink to allow embedding of research papers and LOs in courses. Coming soon: Moodle and Blackboard Building Block integration.
