  1. The Campus Portal as a Solution to Electronic Resource Presentation:The Intersection of MyLehigh and MyLibraryChristine RoysdonLibrary and Technology ServicesLehigh University

  2. Lehigh’s SCT/Campus Pipeline Portal • Project began in 2002 • Wide participation within LTS • Single signon to Blackboard and Banner • Constituent portals such as FYS, Admitted, Alumni (in progress)

  3. First Year Student Portal

  4. Examples of Channels • LehighNOW -- news • Pulse of the campus – campus newspaper poll • Older services migrated -- SALE • Carpooling – new • Morning Call – regional newspaper

  5. And the library?

  6. Library collection developments • Conversion to electronic journals • Interlinkages between ejournals and databases via Open URL • Electronic reference works • Inclusion in catalog, multiple lists • Need to restore browsing capabilities

  7. Goals for Library presence on the portal • Organize electronic resources by subject, augmenting: • database finder • ejournal list • Bring to light works “hidden” in the online catalog, such as reference works • Possibilities for customization and personalization • Push important services, news, messages

  8. Selection of MyLibrary • Organize electronic library resources by subject • Users can customize and personalize • Potential for integration into SCT Campus Pipeline or another uPortal standard portal application • Developed at NC State, now at Notre Dame (dewey.library.nd.edu/mylibrary/ ) • Open-source and free (MySQL)

  9. Issues with MyLibrary • Aging software • Resource selection could be cumbersome • Maintenance concerns • Duplication of effort

  10. Documented User Issues with MyLibrary • Remembering things: Location, passwords • Initial customization hurdle Could we overcome through the portal?

  11. Two major challenges • Loading *all* electronic library resources into MyLibrary sorted out by subject • Matching sets of eresources by subject to the right users

  12. Lehigh’s MyLibrary Electronic music library resources in ASA catalog Banner roles FACULTY MUS

  13. Challenge 1: Getting resources into MyLibrary effectively • Assign resources into MyLibrary subject codes, using fund codes corresponding to departments/majors, e.g. PMUS • Harvest electronic resources from the SIRSI catalog • Effect workflow changes to accommodate new resources

  14. 692 Codes • EMUS – Music electronic reference work • PMUS – Electronic music periodical

  15. Challenge 2: Map Users to MyLibrary subject fields • Use of Library Fund Codes to organize materials AND users • Extraction of users to MyLibrary database • Mapping of Banner codes of users to MyLibrary codes • Example: MyLibrary discipline field #8 = Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) EES= Banner major codes EES + ECOL +ENSC and department code EES

  16. User Interface • Librarians set up default choices for subject pages • Look and feel resembles the rest of the Lehigh portal, though it’s a monolithic tab • Users can customize subject lists or select titles from outside their discipline • Integration with EZProxy

  17. Introduction • Introduced in Fall of 2004 • Publicity campaign • Usage grew steadily throughout the first year, down during second year

  18. Quotes • Wow! Major kudos to you all for the great new journalism collection portal-thingy! There are journals there that I didn't realize we had electronic access to. Thanks so much for making it easy to find what's available in our hard-to-categorize field of research.

  19. Quotes • I find the … product a real asset to the Portal.  I am now drawn to use the Portal in a full-service way which just wasn't available before. Thanks to all who helped motivate this addition to the Portal. 

  20. Issues with Lehigh MyLibrary implementation • Speed issues and CPIP • Does not accommodate current federated search services • Need true channels • New functionalities…
