Implementing Leganto powered by SIPX with Blackboard: Lessons learned

Abstract

We recently (January, 2017) embarked on our adventure with Leganto at Washington State University Libraries. In this presentation, I will give a short summary of our implementation, which included the LTI integration with the Blackboard learning management system and the SIPX copyright clearance mechanism. I will recount the various difficulties that we encountered, so that you might avoid them in your future implementation.
-With regard to Blackboard, I will discuss:
-Losing the Ability to Use Blackboard Student View;
-Getting Added to Blackboard As a Student;
-Identifying Blackboard Course IDs and Mapping the Correct Parameters.
-Establishing the LTI Weblink;
With regard to SIPX, I will discuss:
-Clearing Copyright - Automatic versus Manual;
-Checking All Documents to Ensure They Were Mapped to Correct Reading List and PDF.
