Editor's Notes
- 76 partners across the world cross the world
- Important part of University business: 4 campuses, 3 overseas
- Initial problems
- No consistency
- Familiar issue but no ideas to improve
- Often not prepared for the discussion. Referred it upwards. Took a long time. Difficult to rely on the answers.Interpreting “authorised users”Approach of publishers differs widely-some reasonable, others looking for an excuseto lay charges
- Contacted every publisher. Took several months as a dedicated project. To find attitude for each type of partner.Decisions changeJISC tool kit helps
- Gave a basis for discussion with Schools and partners and publishers.
- Very useful in demonstrating its not free and has a cost and value
- Funded by CAPGives time and resources this work deservesConcentrates expertise in one personFull time post so can be proactive rather than responsiveTime to review publishers attitudesMove from spreadsheets to databaseEnhance comms with suppliers and partners
