Sakai 3 and Library Integration

Added by Susan Hollar, last edited by Jon Dunn on Feb 24, 2010  (view change)

This is the home page of a collaborative effort amongst the Library and Sakai communities to design and develop a product to make library resources more accessible and useful within the new Sakai 3 collaboration and learning environment.

We are currently in the middle of a multi-institutional user research study to understand more about why and how instructors use scholarly resources in preparing and conducting their courses.

We communicate through the Web Meetings listed below. These web meetings are open to all - feel free to join us!

Questions? Interested in getting involved? Email us!

A number of institutions from all over the world are currently involved in this effort:
