Planning to Succeed – Reading Lists strategies - Jackie Chelin and Carol Dell...Talis
The document discusses the implementation of a new reading list system at the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol. It describes problems UWE previously had with students not being able to access required readings. UWE addressed this by developing reading strategies in collaboration with academics that focused on ensuring core readings were accessible while developing students' information skills. It then discusses UWE's enhanced reading list project which includes adopting reading list software, expanding digital content, and working with faculties to pilot the new system from 2016-2017. The goals are to improve students' experiences, engagement, and outcomes.
The document outlines the Digital Strategy project of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. It discusses how the project was divided into five workgroups that researched and developed guiding principles for the library's digital future. The workgroups focused on areas like content, community engagement, digitization, user experience, and infrastructure. The workgroups were overseen by a steering committee. The guiding principles developed address issues like creating a unified digital platform, removing barriers to access, fostering an interactive online community, empowering individual users, expanding programming opportunities digitally, and preserving local history through digital archives.

Conferencia eMadrid sobre "El uso de herramientas telemáticas en la facilitación de MOOC: primeras impresiones". Manuel León Urrutia. Universidad de Southampton. 17/11/2016.
The University of Derby has experienced significant campus and program growth over the past two decades. It has 15,935 higher education students based in the UK and 8,380 students at overseas franchised institutions. The University of Derby Online (UDOL) program was created in 2011 and has around 3,000 unique part-time students. To support this diverse student body, the university library provides services both on and off campus, including email and phone support, online guides and videos, library visits to collaborative partner institutions, and interlibrary loans. Library staff also engage in ongoing training, quality monitoring, and collaboration to ensure high-quality support for all students.
The HIKE project aimed to evaluate integrating data between the KB+ knowledge base and local systems, and evaluating Intota as a potential replacement for the traditional library management system. It mapped existing electronic resources workflows and found inefficiencies in dealing with different formats. It tested KB+ and compared it to 360 Resource Manager, finding KB+ better for managing deals. The project recommended next steps including adopting Summon, embedding KB+ and 360 in workflows, and forming an Intota working group.
The document summarizes the results of a longitudinal study conducted by Katie Burn and Matt Cunningham on why students use university libraries and what they use them for. They surveyed students at Loughborough University and the University of York in 2015 and 2016. Some key findings were that students primarily use libraries for individual study and to access resources, with undergraduates using libraries more frequently than postgraduates. Differences between the universities included York students prioritizing individual study more and using libraries for social purposes. The collaboration provided insights to inform space planning and demonstrated the value of libraries.

Jisc Monitor workshop - Jo Lambert and Brian Mitchell - Jisc Digital Festival...Jisc
The Jisc APC pilot project aimed to respond to a changing global Open Access (OA) landscape by exploring key issues around the management of article processing charges. By bringing together representatives from academic institutions, publishers, funders and intermediaries, the project explored different approaches to managing Article Processing Charges (APCs) and investigated opportunities for achieving greater efficiencies.
The project indicated that Open Access publishing activity must be considered in its entirety to deliver maximum efficiencies within an institutional context. Following the pilot project, Jisc OA Monitor aims to provide a shared service enabling institutions to collate, analyse and report on all of its Open Access publishing activities and outputs (Green and Gold) both internally and to its funders. The service will offer institutions an insight into their degree of compliance with funder mandates and encourage international co-operation to assist in the development of processes, systems and standards that facilitates the sharing and exchange of relevant information between institutional, publisher and vendor systems.
An overview of Jisc OA Monitor outlining its core components. Community engagement and co-design is a key aspect of Jisc OA Monitor and the workshop will enable participants to contribute ideas to inform development of this new service.

Sump pumps are used to pump water out of basements. There are two main types - submersible pumps, which are fully immersed in water, and surface pumps, which are not immersed. Submersible pumps have advantages like lack of friction and cooling of the engine. Surface pumps can pump from any depth but are harder to maintain. Key manufacturers of sump pumps include Zoeller and Little Giant, which produce reliable pumps using their own components. Sump pumps are used to drain basements, wells, trenches and more, and come in models suited to different applications and water conditions.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Editor's Notes
Pilot project proposed with Department of Management – dept chosen because of revalidation so an ideal time to start talking about how we could include digital literacy content
Why digital literacy? See UCISA website (http://www.ucisa.ac.uk/digcap): The need to improve the country’s digital capabilities has been highlighted in a House of Lords committee report published in February 2015. Make or break: the UK’s digital future notes that the higher education sector “has not responded to the urgent need for reskilling” and calls for institutions to develop courses to give the students the skills they need.
ILS already do a lot in terms of information literacy, and at YSJ we have the capability to be responding the needs identified in the Make or break report.
Lots of options on how we could proceed: looked at JISC’s Seven Elements of Digital Literacies: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/developing-digital-literacies then looked at what other institutions are providing. Settled on the OU Digital and Information Literacy Framework
Felt the first step was to look at the framework and map level 1 – helps us to guage how big a task we are
What we’ve done so far:
The framework addresses Digital AND Information literacy
28 elements across 4 levels in the original – we started with level 1
each element mapped to what happens currently at level 1 – how current practice and resource could be enhanced – and where additional work and material was needed.
Mapping of level 1 – audit of what’s done now – ideas of what could be done
Jane – exercise prepared and why
discusss
how to collaborate
mapping doesn’t stop – need to include level 2 and 3.

New Library Catalogue due out in August 2015
Will provide faster searching with better ways of narrowing your search
Seamless access to library account information (including renewals and holds)

e.g. business psychology
business finance
The RRS has been approved at ESEC and is aimed firstly at the undergraduate programme. Since the Bus Man prog is being revalidated, we’ve agreed with David Norris to target the current third year modules (because they will have the longest shelf life) and we carried out an audit of the third year reading lists to check which books are available electronically.
£5,000 investment made to increase e provision on specific texts plus a larger investment on ebook packages via Sage and Cambridge books online.
ALL will contact Module leaders for input with the following aims:
Input on the list content/ changes to modules/ new modules
Identifying suitable electronic books to use as essential texts from the new ebook packages ?
Decisions on numbers of print copies of books which are NOT available electronically
Adding more journal articles to the lists
Reading lists can link to books and journal articles, websites; provides standardisation of lists; removes need to produce long Word documents and all updates can be done in one place
Link to lists in Moodle will automatically be pulled through in a standard position so easier for students to find
We will be upgrading to Rebus mark 2 this summer which has clearer layout including division between essential and further reading
Encourage academics (or admin staff on their behalf) to take over editing rights for lists for greater control. Jane can provide training as needed so volunteers are welcome!
You make requests from the appropriate Moodle module.
‘Digitisation request’ will appear as an option on the ‘Add activity or resource’ list in Moodle
You will enter the information about the book chapter or article as you want it to appear to the students
Checks are made by the Talis system when you make the request
Instant feedback received about whether the request is permitted (checks if library has ebook, or ejournal or whether it is within the CLA licence) so saves huge amount of time at that point of submission
Feedback given about each stage of the process including email sent at point when item becomes available
No uploading of PDFs necessary because link to item will appear in your module when the semester begins
Workshops run in each of the three levels of UG programme as part of timetabled seminars, usually as a hands-on session in partnership with tutors to ensure timeliness and relevancy to the students’ assignments. Sessions for PG students also arranged for the MA/Msc/MBA levels.
Students can book tutorials with the Academic Liaison Librarian and the IT trainers for help at any stage of their programme. Ian Staite or Annette Webb
There has been a large increase in International students making use of this service over the latest academic year.
The resources to support this are on the ILS webpages and include a growing number of business-related databases and journals (a high proportion of our database budget is allocated to business and management). The IT Trainers have developed help pages and downloadable resources for Microsoft Office, Mahara, Moodle, SelectSurvey and more.
Submission of articles to repository for consideration in REF:
Certain research outputs should be made open-access to be eligible for submission to the post-2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF). This requirement will apply to journal articles and published conference proceedings accepted for publication after 1 April 2016.
http://www.hefce.ac.uk/pubs/year/2014/201407/
To help you with this, we have a new repository called RaY.
Important to start adding publications to this now. Training from the RaY team available. Anyone can deposit information and items – can be academics or admins.
