There be dragons: Course Management and Library Systems at SFU Library and BC Campus

Various SFU faculty use WebCT, First Class, Lon-Capa and the locally developed CMS. SFU is a partner in SAKAI and the Library developed MOSST for online library instructional. SFU Library has achieved considerable success in technology, having developed reSearcher for Western Canadian university libraries; maintaining active digitization, Institutional repository, and e-journal support programmes; and supporting a very strong e-collection. SFU Library has a very active on-campus course-based instruction programme; extending that programme to the CMS environment has been challenging and, at times, frustrating. Through technology, strategic activity, and active involvement in online paedagogical initiatives, some success has been achieved.
