  1. The Integrated Library Management System (ILMS): A Core Component in the Fusion of E-learning and E-knowledge Joanna Richardson Digital Repository Administrator eAgenda Forum 2004 Information Services

  2. Integration of Core Support Systems • ROI for learning objects – library resources – • Penetration of knowledge silos • Sharing / (re) combining content

  3. Myths • If e-learning is not equal to LCMS • And e-knowledge is not equal to portals or corporate systems • Then ILMS is not equal to the Library’s online catalogue

  4. The End-user As “Driver” • Students will have increased expectations for technology-based resources • Students will want all content to be: -- available -- interrelated -- easily accessible Terry, Charles 2001, “Content Delivery & Applications: The Net Generation”, InfoToday 2001 Conference

  5. The Back End As “Driver” Library staff need access to: • local systems for finance, library records, student information, learning platforms • remote systems for online ordering, bibliographic utilities, online work tools

  6. And Yet . . . • Most ILMS vendors can supply APIs which enable interfaces between their system and various institutional administration systems • But these linkages –beyond the student information system– are rare in Australia

  7. And the Solution Is . . . ? • Service convergence: ILMS + LCMS • Portal products: ILMS + hybrid information systems • Enterprise MIS integration: ILMS + finance +

  8. Goal • Address business processes and knowledge management issues • ROI • Resource sharing and collaboration both internally and at the inter-organisational level

  9. The Future: Integration and Dis-integration • Opportunity for librarians and IT professionals to work with ILMS vendors to develop solutions to a range of knowledge management / access issues • ILMS may be less “integrated” and more modular: various functional applications (products) treated as discrete interoperable systems which can then be integrated with individual enterprise systems
