The document discusses an academic's perspective on adopting resource lists to integrate reading lists with the university library catalogue and learning management system. Some key benefits mentioned are streamlining the student experience, avoiding duplicating work by managing reading lists and CLA scans separately, and allowing the library to track student access and borrowing. Potential drawbacks include reducing opportunities for students to practice catalogue searching and the time-consuming nature of setting up the system and scanning CLA materials. Going forward, the author plans to provide feedback to improve catalogue integration and list formatting, monitor student progress, and get assistance setting up additional lists.

Resource Lists:
An Academic’s Perspective

Why adopt?
• University-wide shift – change inevitable
• Avoid duplication of labour – old approach to
reading lists
• Integrated with library catalogue and VLE
• Host for PDF scans produced through
Copyright Licensing Agreement (CLA)
• Distance learning

The benefits
• Convergence of information and teaching
systems – streamline student experience
• CLA scans don’t have to be managed and
migrated separately – had been an annual
summer task
• No more separate annual reading list
updates

The benefits
• Now that it’s all there, can just adjust it
year on year – work is frontloaded
• Library can keep track of what students
are accessing and borrowing, adjust
buying accordingly

The drawbacks
• Possibly reduces opportunities for students
to practice catalogue searching
• CLA scans still time consuming because
library doesn’t yet do the scanning
• Considerable time commitment to set
everything up
• Editing mechanism in ResourceLists fiddly –
multiple layers

The drawbacks
• Library catalogue integration not perfect
• Automatically inputted details need editing
• Book chapters awkward because they don’t
have separate catalogue entries
• Ebooks awkward because of discrete (and
disparate) entries in catalogue

Going forward
• Feeding back to library about integration
with catalogue – opportunity to review
how entries are formatted, and how
ebook acquisition and access works?
• Feeding back to Talis about editing layers
and book chapter formatting in lists

Going forward
• Monitoring student progress and
research capability
• Enlisting help of PG assistant to help with
setting up further lists and CLA scanning

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

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.

As a means of making available and acquiring e-books, Stockholm University Library uses PDA and EBS models. In order to improve the knowledge of the benefits and drawbacks of these purchasing models, the library has undertaken a major evaluation of ten agreements with various publishers and aggregators. This session will, among other things, address the following questions: What is the average price per book at the time of purchase? What is the cost per use? Do purchased titles continue to be used? What is the usage by subject area and by year of publication?

This webinar is based on experiences of working over the past two years with a number of further education (FE) colleges to help them increase engagement with digital resources and library services. It draws on the recommendations of a number of librarians/learning resources managers on how they have increased engagement with, and use of, their resources. The emphasis will be on non-technical approaches to enhance student experience, learning and teaching. Lis Parcell will share recommendations which will be particularly useful for librarians and learning resources staff in FE colleges, but may also be of interest to staff working in smaller university library services. Participants will be encouraged to contribute their own views on the challenges they face in increasing engagement with their digital resources and library services. We will also highlight further support available from Jisc in this area. Lis will co-present with Elizabeth Newbold, Library Manager at Activate Learning.

Understanding how two University Libraries (Edinburgh and St Andrews) have responded to requests for supporting a journal hosting service for the institution – why, how and future sustainability. We will cover progression of the service and the levels of support we can provide, with examples of the range of journals and flexibility of our approach. We will also describe how it fits in with our Open Access support services.

Librarians are increasingly being asked to engage with bibliometrics to help with institutional decision making. However, few have professional qualifications in this area and there is an onus on universities to do metrics responsibly. A small project supported by the Lis-Bibliometrics forum and Elsevier Research Intelligence Division is developing a set of bibliometric competency statements to ensure practitioners are equipped to do their work responsibly and well. This workshop will report on progress to date and invite input into the project.

At a time of rapid change in scholarly communications, it can be challenging for publishers and libraries in the not-forprofit sector to keep up with our customers’ needs and with our competitors’ offerings. This session will explore what two university presses and a library are doing to support their researchers and authors and how they make those decisions when money is tight. Is it best to build, buy or partner? How can innovation be balanced with fulfilling more traditional customer expectations and managing legacy products or services? To what extent can and should libraries and not-forprofit publishers accommodate the plethora of new scholarly and educational tools and services?
