The Library is used to post eReserves, electronic manuscripts, and other institution resources. It allows integration with the Blackboard Learning System, making it a powerful way to share and distribute library materials.
The two main areas within the Library are Library Content and eReserves. Additional areas may also be added to the Library to meet specific institution needs by adding subfolders in this area.
Library Content is a folder within the Library that can be organized according to the institution’s specific needs. This area is intended for content that may be shared across the entire institution. By default, all system users automatically have read access to all items in Library Content.
eReserves is an area within the Library that contains materials for which access must be controlled, such as documents with copyrights. The Administrator must enable eReserves before this area is available in the system. eReserves are only available for courses; eReserves are not available for organizations.
This section of the Library is automatically organized by course; each course in the Blackboard Learning System has a corresponding folder in eReserves. Additional folders may not be added to eReserves. Folders and items in the top-level eReserves folder cannot be manipulated; for example, a course folder may not be moved, deleted or renamed.

Note: By default, only the Administrator has permission to manage the folders in the Library. The Administrator must grant permissions to other users who will be managing and organizing the Library. Permissions may be granted to top-level folders or only to certain subfolders. Any user who has Manage permission on the top level folder can grant permissions for folders within it. |
