Moodle Project
Plan
To get Moodle (open-source learning management system) working with Koha (open-source integrated library system).
- First Step
- Let's start by extending the Moodle External Search block to query a Koha library system and display the returned records of Koha books.
Koha Search

- Koha uses an open standard from the Library of Congress called SRU - Search/Retrieval by URL.

- Then we can grab (e.g.) records 5 and 6, in Dublin Core, like this:
