Concerning portals, BB, Libguides and single sign on, my director has a question: Hi
We are going to launch our campus portal for Fall semester and have come across an issue. We use Blackboard for our CMS and the library is using LibGuides to provide library resources for Blackboard classes. About 20 percent of classes at JCC are online classes. We were very excited about the portal reducing the number of logons and saw this as an advantage for our students to access everything easily.
Now it turns out that if you log in to the portal, go to a class in Blackboard and then go to a library resource from the class, it requires you to log in again because you have gone through Blackboard. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of situation?
We have been told that Blackboard has something called Building Blocks and if we list our databases in a Building Block that may solve the second log in problem. Will this work? Will we further encounter a problem with library resources in a LibGuide because you have left Blackboard and gone to Springshare?
