The document outlines how a university is using data to engage academic staff in discussions about learning resource provision and inform service development. Data sources include reading lists, digitized content usage, online activity, and benchmarking. The data is being used through the Talis Aspire platform to align collections with modules per a new Collections Policy. Next steps involve sharing implications for academics and services based on the data, and further engagement with staff.

We will outline how we are using data to
engage academic staff in wider
discussions about learning resource
provision for modules, with Talis Aspire as
a main vehicle for delivering our new
Collections Policy. We will also explore
how we will be using data strategically to
inform service development.

“An evidence-based approach to inform service
development and engage academic staff in
discussions”…. But what is this ‘evidence’?

Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming activity for individual libraries who have a legal and ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As access to online content has grown and funding for support diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty content and then work with publishers and other suppliers to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide some case studies from UK universities that show how we are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors, many of whom have engaged with their customers. In some cases quite simple changes to publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.

Since October 2015 Stockholm University Library has managed their journal subscriptions without using a subscription agent. Instead they renew directly with each publisher. During this breakout session they will share their experience of doing it themselves. What are the pros and cons of not using an agent? Are there cost savings to be had? What about the working hours spent? And what’s the difference between the first and the second time renewing without an agent?

UKSG: connecting the knowledge community

Although we are past the ‘All MOOC All the Time’ hype of 2012, any announcement of the death of the MOOC is premature. Universities that began thinking about MOOCs then are just now ready for launch. Come and learn what is new in the world of MOOCs and what role content is playing in this new form of teaching and learning. Both Copyright Clearance Center and ProQuest SIPX have been supplying content into MOOCs with new and interesting models. Learn more about student uptake of both free and for-purchase content. Learn how libraries and publishers are handling challenges and opportunities in this new learning space.

Presented by Jennifer L. Pate. With support from the president and provost of the university, Collier Library adopted strategic purchasing initiatives, including database purchases to support specific courses as well as purchasing reserve copies of textbooks for high-enrollment, required classes. In addition, the scholarly communications librarian became a founding member of the OER workgroup on campus. This group’s mission is to direct efforts for increasing faculty awareness and adoption of OER. This presentation discusses the structure of the each of these programs from initial idea to implementation. Included will be discussions of assessment of faculty and student awareness, development of an OER grant program, starting a textbook purchasing program, promotion of efforts, funding, and future goals.

The session will present the key findings of a joint Loughborough University and Taylor & Francis project looking at postgraduate user experience in the digital library. Using the findings from ten research students’ diaries collected over an eight-month period, we will focus on the findings as they relate to the academic journal and article including: evaluating different publishers’ platforms and their UX; identifying the approaches and skills needed in identifying papers relevant for their research; and approaches to storing papers.
