There is another "half way house" solution. If your organisation had Xerte Toolkits (free and open source, requires minimal technical skills and has high native accessibility) installed for teaching purposes then you could use it to host the eggs you don't want to put in another basket... just have links from your Moodle area to the Xerte learning resources.

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Adding all library resources to Moodle and no website/intranet/portal
Hello all,
It has been mooted here that we get rid of our library intranet and just host resources on Moodle alone.
The idea behind it is so that all resources will be accessed seamlessly via one interface - this can be achieved by us integrating our resources into a library tab and also adding specific resources in relevant units anyway, but the idea is being pushed forward.
I have concerns about this, as I feel we do need a library web presence, and we also don't want to put all our eggs in one basket.
I would love to hear your views on this and if anyone has done this and it is working well (or otherwise) I'd love to hear from you too.
Many thanks for your time.
Best wishes,
Caroline
