From data entry to advocacy:
recruiting students as
Resource List Assistants
Talis Insight, April 2016
Dr Sarah Pittaway
Team Leader: Academic Services
Library Services @ The Hive, University of Worcester
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
Setting the scene
2015/16 is our first
full year of TARL &
TADC
Implemented during
2014/15
Undertook data entry
of all lists before
handing over
ownership to
academics
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
With over 1450 lists
to add, we knew we had
a big job ahead of us! #TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
We wanted data entry to
be quick, and to roll
out a completely
populated system
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
Support for data entry came
in the form of student
Resource List Assistants
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
500 hours in total for a
team of students
Min 5 hours per week, max
20 hours
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
Students undertook a significant
amount of data entry
Lists uploaded
Students Library staff
65%
35%
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
An unexpected benefit was that
students became library advocates
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
For
example
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
We think this advocacy has had a
real, tangible impact
One strong advocate was from Archaeology,
where we saw NSS scores rise from 3.0-3.8.
Cause, correlation or coincidence?
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
There were benefits for
students as well
They earned money, gained work experience,
and could add to their Worcester Award
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
“Searching for resources? I
mean, pfft, it’s no problem. I
know so much now!”
- Resource List Assistant, post-project
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
They also gained more confidence in
using library resources
The role was
advertised
to students
only
We received
over 30
applications

The work related exercise
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
It all went well! We recruited 6 students
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
We started with hands-
on training from
liaison librarians
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
We kept a very close eye on Resource
List Assistants at first
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
But quickly gave
them the freedom
to work when and
where they wanted
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
?
Hiring students isn’t without its challenges
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
It’s a leap of faith – will students’
initial enthusiasm
be sustained?
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
The additional admin can
be a headache
#TalisInsight
@Dr_Sarah_P
Some students needed a lot of
additional support
#TalisInsight
