Academic librarians have long sought new ways to reach out to their users and support those users' research needs. Now, learning management system (LMS) embedded librarianship is partnering with faculty to deliver research assistance for students right in their LMS course sites. This issue of
Library Technology Reports describes the LMS environment alongside the larger online resource environment
of academic libraries. Topics include:
- options for adding digital collections and finding tools;
- methods for creating course-specific content;
- online tools for communication, collaboration, and citing sources;
- LMS embedded librarians trends; and
- the underlying principles of universal design, instructional design, accessibility, and copyright.
