We have added the launch of a great new module called Rebus:list:it.  It can pull items from external websites straight into Rebus:list with a single click.  It works with discovery services such as Summon, library catalogues, Amazon, Google Books, Blackwell, Waterstones, journal providers, etc etc.  If we get enough interest we would extend this functionality to being able to pull records straight into Koha in the same way.

We will also be previewing a new product we are developing – Rebus:tutorial.  As libraries provide more and more information resources a major challenge is to ensure that end users know how to use all of these systems.   Rebus:tutorial is aimed at promoting active learning and allows librarians to quickly and easily create online, interactive tutorials for all of the resources and systems they are offering.  We will be keen to hear your comments and suggestions that we could then feed in to the product prior to a launch of rebus:tutorial in the spring of 2014.
