1 SCONUL Access Contacts’ meeting: website report Wayne Connolly 3 July 2013

2 SCONUL website upgrade 1 Initial search to default to list of institutions instead of map Email notification screen to be cleared automatically Automatic registration of dates when applications are received or amended Applicants’ records to be extended to include additional fields: user band; user expiry date; general notes Emails to users to feed all appropriate fields through from the application form

3 SCONUL website upgrade 2 New “in progress” status for applicants to be added Ability to delete pending applications to be added Functionality to be provided to search the database of applicants by name, institution and ID number Host libraries to be given access to applicants’ full records Band R functionality to be improved to inform users of a Reference offer where they are not eligible to borrow

4 Proposed next steps Use the Access database to check applicants’ eligibility instead of relying on email for identification: to remove email’s lack of security as proof of entitlement email response to user can be simpler and shorter to remove need to produce separate email for Reference users Use standard SCONUL Access template on Library home websites to provide key information to visitors (travel arrangements, access arrangements, opening hours, access to e-resources, etc.)

5 Proposed future developments Host libraries to add their details to users’ individual records on the Access database when they register: to provide a direct link between home and host libraries on user record to remove need for blanket emails about defaulting and leaving members to provide detailed management information on use of the Access scheme
