- Demonstration/Instruction
Leganto (Monica and Staci DSU)
“Reading Lists (that’s how it’s branded) Experience” PPT: this will be on Teams site
- Goals outlined – meeting students where they are, Blackboard
- Cuts down on Permalink issues! Copyright Compliance
- Potential for much more than a list of links
- Variety of sources can be managed – by librarian or by the instruction themself
- Pros/Cons
- Samples: https://dickinsonstate.libguides.com/readinglists and this Leganto example
- Technology issues: Blackboard support is provided – could have discussions about templates/continuity
- Ask to consider/discuss: all ODIN libraries join us - promote as a group? Use OER funds to incentivize? We should start discussing this at our institutions and bring to our directors and they can bring to the ODIN advisory council
- Questions:
- Do the faculty see how many students clicked and if so, can they access the names of the students who clicked or did not click? - Yes, The faculty can see how many. Seeing the detailed stats with names is an opt in feature
- Accessibility problems? No problems reported but since the reading isn’t located within Bboard may not show up – definitely a way to upload, etc. They have PDF scans of book chapters currently.
- Cost? It’s an add on – DSU got in at the RFP price and ODIN did also put in some money – add-on fee of $8,500 and yearly fee $2500 plus any CCC costs incurred but it will be higher – the more that go in, the better the price. 2 research institutions would be higher price but others may not vary too much. The implementation fee may be a barrier.
- Do you have more instructors interested in using it this Fall? Promotion piece is the hardest part – we don’t want to send our students on resource hunts has been the pitch
- Efficiencies – there's ways to publish so that the lists could be shared throughout NDUS – documents or open web, Instructors can roll over their lists year to year.
- Hesitation with giving students the sources rather than providing instruction on research skills needed to locate them – there may be a way to manage Leganto without providing the item itself. Why pay for Leganto then? Consistency in Blackboard course shell presentation – a unified place.
how many students clicked and if so, can they access the names of the students who clicked or did not click?
- Other Discussion Items
Problematic Gale in Content College Resource linkouts (Liz) - links are broken (technical difficulties error message) AND they block the links to any other targets – Liz added another ticket (3rd one) this week and trying to get an answer since March – she could deactivate this collection for the libraries until it’s resolved – put a ticket in
