Presentation Title
The Sakaibrary Project: Accessing Licensed Digital Content Within Sakai
Presentation Summary
The Sakaibrary Project has implemented and started usability and pilot testing for a system within Sakai to search licensed electronic scholarly databases. From search results, Citations can be managed in the form of Citation Lists within the Resources tool. This presentation will describe and demonstrate various features of this project.
Presentation Description
The goals of this presentation are to:
- share and demonstrate the functionality developed for Sakai by the Sakaibrary Project - walkthroughs of various user (faculty, student, librarian) usage of the system.
- describe the various technologies the Sakaibrary Project employs (Metasearch engines, OpenURL Link Resolvers, OKI Repository OSID, modifications to Sakai Content).
- share "Phase 2" project enhancements.
- briefly describe the QA, usability and pilot testing process and results (though this is the main focus of the Sakaibrary Project Update Presentation).
