  13. Reaching Academics • How should RGAs be communicating with academics? • What should be the key messages that RGAs convey in doing so? • Are there any local or national mechanisms – such as Quality Assessment procedures, staff development opportunities, etc that could provide levers for RGA attempts at outreach? • How can these complement rather than confuse local attempts to influence academics’ use of electronic resources and services?

  14. Customisation • What do we believe the community (librarians, academics, researchers & students) need? • What would best support individual institutions? • Problems / pitfalls? • What are the consequences of doing nothing?

  15. Training Current activities include institutional workshops, national “road show” events, presentations at seminars & conferences (generic & subject specific), production of training materials • Are there any other forms of training that RGAs should be undertaking? • What should the priorities be? • How can RGAs ensure they are complementing institutional training efforts? • How are training materials best delivered – web, print or other formats?
