Beluga
Beluga will connect learning management systems such as CommSy, OLAT or Moodle with library catalogues. These new research platforms enable the automatic export of information about books and other literature to eLearning environments. Furthermore, a service will be created to make scholarly literature accessible in electronic form: print material will be digitalized exclusively for individual courses, if necessary, and made accessible in the desired learning environment. In addition to this, there will be a new research platform distinguished by a few Web 2.0-type functionalities.
eL building kits

Conceived as an on-line service for teaching staff at Hamburg universities as well as for the University Library, the eLearning building kit makes it easy to create content modules and material (HTML data, style sheets, graphics and eLearning meta-data in the form of SML data) suitable to the Internet and commensurate with the general standards of eLearning content.
