The shared library manages storage and services around a central resource index. It is a central alternative to “personal” storage, attached to each user, as for having limited scope. Shared Library extends this scope to a common, site wide, state-of-the-art indexing resources catalog.

The shared library offers Moodle a single “common” storage space, usable by all teachers to “pool” the resources and documents used in the courses. Resources can then be used in courses, either as documents or as educational objects if their type allows deployment. (For example, a Scorm or zipper to unlink by placing it in a class).

The central library stores a standardized metadata index according to a standard metadata schema chosen by the administrator. Physical resource storage remains entrusted to Moodle's internal “standard” file system.

The addition of metadata allows easier search for predefined resources and “pedagogical objects”, allows distribution and reuse in “networks” on several interconnected Moodles. The library also adopts the OAI-PMH standard allowing external catalogs to come “harvest” and index the resources proposed by the platform.

Note : Failing status is not necessarily the sign of a non functionning module. It just says that the moodle code standards check are not fullfilling. This is a continuous effort of us rewriting the plugin code to get it compliant.
