    I’m really interested in what you have on: Integrate publisher building blocks and information systems within Blackboard Learn as we are just starting to really leverage publisher content here at SHSU.

    Thanks!

  9. It’s been a long time since I installed Bb and my campus uses managed hosting so I’m most interested in the information on installation and configuration. Thanks for the opportunity!

  11. Hi Terry,

    Congrats on the book! What piques my interest in Chapter 12. In particular, I am most interested in setting up an effective disaster recovery system. Or, at the very least, compare our system against another.
