AU LIBRARY VS. BLACKBOARD

Until the summer of 2014, the AU made use of several different LMS

systems, including Blackboard. The library was part of the team that

helped test and implement Blackboard at AU and we, therefore, have

a long-standing involvement in LMS system development at the AU.

It was decided that the AU should have a single, common LMS and

following a tendering process, Blackboard was chosen as supplier of

the system.

In order to meet deadlines, ensure further development, etc. the work

involved in the implementation of Blackboard was organized as

follows:

ORGANIZATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION

A general steering committee consisting of vice-deans, deputy directors and

program managers.

Project leader forum, consisting of project leaders from the 4 faculties, the program

leader and a representative from AU Library

4 local implementation groups – 1 per. faculty. Each group consists of a program

leader, a project leader, a director of studies from the different faculties and a

representative from AU Library

AU Library has been able to get members into the project leader forum and in the

individual implementation units. This has given us a unique opportunity to draw

attention to what we as a library can offer this project, and an opportunity to be

part of it from the very start. It has required resources to be represented in these

forums and participate in meetings that could often be irrelevant to the library, but

in the end our continuing presence has paid off, as the AU Library is now in the

thoughts of most directors of studies, vice-deans and project leaders.

AU LIBRARY IN BLACKBOARD

When Blackboard was launched at AU, the AU Library was already

part of the students' Blackboard solution.

The examples here are from the Faculty of ARTS - students from other

faculties have a customized AU Library page where the list of

databases is tailored to their students.

Our work going forward will be to be more present in the individual

courses in Blackboard

OUR AIM – EMBEDDED LIBRARY

Whenever you enter a university, the library is there

somewhere amongst the university buildings.

We aim to secure the same experience, when you

enter the digital ”buildings”, the LMS.

“LMS embedded librarianship … delivers

relevant library resources and services needed

by students grappling with course-specific

research assignments in the campus LMS.” (Tumbleson, Beth E., and Burke, John J. 2015, p.6.)

OUR AIM – EMBEDDED LIBRARIAN

The library resources should be accessible right when and where

you need them.

The librarian’s skills should be clear and visible, so that you know

when to address them for help rather than your tutor, peers, IT

department, Google, etc.

#BbLibrary

AARHUSUNIVERSITETAU

“Library literature suggests that students have a

limited understanding of what librarians can do

for them”

“The idea of a librarian as an academic expert

who is available to talk about assignments and

hold their hands through the research process is,

in fact, foreign to most students”(Tumbleson, Beth E., and Burke, John J. 2015, p.13.)

AARHUSUNIVERSITETAU

OUR AIM – EMBEDDED IN THE COURSES

Our modules can be integrated within the courses

We build modules on request

We are working on converting our products from modules into

content in the content collection areas, because our teachers

simply don’t use module pages on their courses.

HOW - TECHNICALITIES

We have chosen the role of ”Instructor”, whenever we enrole in a

course.

Librarians are administrators, in order to be able to quick enroll

courses and in order to create modules.

This has been debated with the pedagogical centres, and it’s the

most seem less way of working. There has been no insidents to

considering doing it with less authority.

Research Libraries (DEFF).

Main idea of the project:

Help students become information literate – and achieve

employability

Embedded librarianship on Learning Management Systems

Develop E-learning objects to help students solve complex tasks

The library should be part of the curriculum

Close collaboration with each course
