Table of Contents JISC HIKE Project Intota Cultural Change & Moving Forward
University of HuddersfieldLibrary Services • SirsiDynix Horizon (1995) • went through full tender process in 2005 • limited development since 2007 • Intellident RFID (2006) • previously 3M barcode self-service • Serials Solutions Summon (2009) • previously Ex LibrisMetaLib & SFX
University of Huddersfieldpain points with our LMS (v7.3.4 UK) • Traditional monolithic system • limited interoperability with non-library systems and no APIs • fixed workflows & duplication of effort • designed to support print materials • Outdated library catalogue (OPAC) • myriad of security concerns
Before we can know what we want from a new system we need to understand the workflows we have in place for the current LMS and related systems. Once we have established the problems and frustrations library staff and users feel, we can identify what we expect from the new systems and where they can improve on the older models. - Graham Stone (Information Resources Manager)

JISC HIKE Projectinitial project aims (1/2) Evaluate available functionality of Intota Evaluate and report on available and planned API functionality of Intota Evaluate Intota’s general suitability for the UK HE market place
JISC HIKE Projectinitial project aims (2/2) Provide a case study of the implementation of KB+ Provide guidance to vendors and institutions on the most effective way to integrate commercial products with KB+ Evaluate the impact on our workflows
JISC HIKE Projectoutcomes • Undertook thorough analysis of acquisition workflows for both print & e • bottlenecks and pain points • areas of duplicated effort • opportunities for change, improvement and system interoperability (e.g. finance) • build up a wish list for a replacement system

One of the real advantages of Intota is that it represents a total approach, covering discovery to the back room. As a result, it offers tightly integrated processes, workflows and data. It will allow librarians to smash through the silos that exist in so many library’s technical services, reader services and other departments. - Thoughts from Carl Grant (Oct 2012)
We've only ourselves to blame for wanting & demanding standalone monolithic systems in libraries. • Thanks to these monolithic systems, it's difficult to move staff around the library as everyone has specialist skills. • The current situation is clearly unsustainable. • selected #mmit2012 tweets fromMarshall Breeding’s “Paradigm Shift” keynote
Change Management • Map your existing workflows • helps staff to realise why change is needed • Put your electronic house in order • the time has come to populate that ERM! • Don’t hang on to legacy baggage • Automate and interoperate • free up staff time to do more interesting jobs
JISC Knowledge Base+ • see Liam Earney’s plenaryon Wednesday morning! • “... a new shared service from JISC Collections launching in the autumn that aims to help UK libraries manage their e-resources more efficiently.” • http://www.kbplus.ac.uk
