Might be of interest? I'm certainly interested in relation to
Bibliographica, and possibility of using reading list tools to
create/improve open bibliographic data...

*Apologies for cross posting*

Colleagues may find this new list relevant.

We are happy to announce the launch of a new JISCmail list
'READING-LIST-SOLUTIONS'
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=READING-LIST-SOLUTIONS
This list is for users and software developers of reading list
solutions (commercial and open source software, or other approaches)
in academic institutions to discuss issues around their
implementation, use, development and interoperability with other
systems.

Reading Lists, or lists of recommended reading in course handbooks and
other forms have long been a key resource for students. However, they
can also be a source of frustration for libraries - trying to get up
to date copies to make sure the correct titles are in stock in the
right numbers.

The concept of a 'reading list' is also an example of where the
library collection intersects with teaching material, and clearly with
the move to putting more teaching material online in learning
environments such as Blackboard and Moodle, this raises questions of
the most effective way of integrating library resources into the
teaching environment.

This new list is intended to discuss the issues, challenges, solutions
and share best practices in this area.

You can join the list at
