Abstract

This paper explores some of the principal issues associated with integrating library content with learning (course) management systems. A current project at Griffith University to integrate the course reading selection process within the University's LMS is used as a case study to illustrate both the associated challenges and opportunities. The paper concludes that some of the underlying technologies will need to mature before seamless integration can be fully achieved.
