I am just saying that we have developed our own in-house system, which
we are launching this week.
I would like to share it with the community as an open source project.
I just need to check with some people here first though.
The readinglists are managed on a web-based app by library staff. The
academic staff currently can only see the readinglists via the Virtual
Learning Environment (Moodle). Later on, we might allow staff into
the interface, wich is very usable.
I might try and put a demo up somewhere, if people are interested.
David.

I know there are currently projects happening at various Uni's to develop reading list solutions in-house, but I'm unsure if these are solely for their own use or will become available via open source or SaaS.
