Brilliant. Thanks Malcolm. sarah "MURRAY M.R." <[log in to unmask]> Sent by: Blackboard/Courseinfo userslist <[log in to unmask]> 17/06/2011 13:34 Please respond to Blackboard/Courseinfo userslist <[log in to unmask]> To [log in to unmask] cc Subject Re: librarians and bb 9.1 Sarah, The textbook search only working in dollars is a long standing bug. Throw in another ticket - it never does any harm! You might also want to show them the VTBE mashups with options for creative commons restricted search for flickr content, etc. Harmless enough if they aren't fans of meta data and decent content control!

I'm training librarians shortly on using the new version of Blackboard and am planning on showing them how to.... 1. Search for a textbook 2. Do a manual search I'd also like to show them the Amazon carousel widget and see if they think it'd be of any use. From this, I've got a few questions. 1. Is there anything else I should be showing them that could be useful with reference to learning resources. 2. When I search for a textbook using ISBN number, it only comes up with results if I select US$. If I go for £sterling, it comes back with nothing. Has anyone else found this. cheers sarah -------------------------------------------------------------------- This email and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
