1. Delivering Library Services through a Virtual Learning Environment Plug-In: “Library Reading Lists.” David Kane Systems Librarian Waterford Institute of Technology

2. Library Reading Lists This presentation describes the creation and implementation of a Moodle Plug-in The plug-in gives the Library an expanded presence within the virtual learning environment, and provides an opportunity for delivering multiple library services directly into Moodle. The main way that this plug-in has been used so far is to give academic staff the ability to include relevant reading lists in each module. I will spend most of the presentation speaking about Reading Lists.

3. Library Reading Lists To assist further collection development: – Quantify what staff need that is not in the library – Quantify what we already have and how well used Give students access to the lists (and potentially other resources, in the future) through their course page in Moodle Enhance the working relationship with the teaching staff.

4. In the context of WIT, the Plug-in Is Mainly an End Point for our Reading List service So, let’s move focus to the Reading List software before we return to the Moodle Plug-in
