Network level services are heavily used, and in many cases are the first port of call for library users Increasing opportunities to build shared capacity, remove unhelpful redundancy, and aggregate data (cf government shared services agenda). Release time and resource to support specific learning and teaching needs of institution. Disclose resources into group and network level services.
