Home-grown course management system delivers library links and resources; now based on Sakai. (Wells Library)

Using the IUB Libraries Web Content Management System librarians are able to create course specific web pages that speak directly to a course assignment and pull together relevant subscription databases and instructional tools. The pages can be made very quickly and easily and librarians can insert them into the class course site. IU uses the Oncourse course management system. The faculty or instructors typically request the pages but they do not have to and librarians can provide these resources without the instructors’ involvement. In the event that there is not course page available from the library a list of subscription resources relevant to the course subject are available.
