Several years ago, we got our IT department to build us a custom library tab in Blackboard that appears in all courses by default. It has the picture, contact information, and an instant message widget for the liaison librarian for that department; a link to the subject or course guide for that course (links to a little script hosted on a library server that queries the subject/course guide system to see if there is a specific course guide for that course, and if not sends them to the subject guide for that department); links to the reserves for that course; and some default links to useful library pages that are the same for all courses. It's really been wonderful.
