Workflows • To understand what we need to have in a new system, we need to understand what we do now • Limitations of existing systems • Pressure points • Efficiencies/streamlining for new workflows
WorkflowsE-resources TERMS: Techniques for Electronic Resource Management http://library.hud.ac.uk/wikiterms/Main_Page
KnowledgeBase+Testing • We have done lots of user testing! • Licences • Core subscriptions • Big deal renewals
IntotaSome initial thoughts! • We’ve spoken to Dawson Books about their role in Intota • We’ve discussed possible APIs that would be needed to talk to other systems • Agresso (finance), ASIS (student records), MyReading (reading list software), Sconul, Library Analytics, British Library…
The end point • A final report • The blog posts in a logical order • Write-up of the workshop that was held • Summary of recommendations to KB+, Serials Solutions and Jisc • A web scale management solution specification document! • Possible collaboration
This session • We want to hear from you! • 2 group activities! • Discussion around workflows and interoperability • Discussion around cultural change
Discussion around workflows and interoperability • 3 pressure points within your current workflows and how efficiencies could be made • An example of: • An essential system - a system the library cannot run without • A preferable system - a system that would create efficiencies but is not essential • A desirable system - a system that would just enhance user experience
Discussion around cultural change 3 concerns that colleagues may have with the implementation of a new library services platform 3 ways in which to manage these concerns.
