The document discusses the Basic Learning Tool Interoperability (Basic LTI) protocol which allows external tools like library resources to be integrated and launched within a learning management system (LMS). It provides instructions on hosting a Basic LTI tool, registering the tool with the LMS, adding the tool to a course, and describes the data that gets passed between the LMS and tool including course, user, and security information. More information resources are provided at the end.
