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

Workflows Acquisitions

Workflows E-resources TERMS: Techniques for Electronic Resource Management

KnowledgeBase+ Testing We have done lots of user testing! –Licences –Core subscriptions –Big deal renewals

Intota Some initial thoughts! We worked with Dawson Books to investigate their role in Intota We worked with our Finance department to investigate how Intota could integrate with Agresso We’ve held initial talks with Swets (subscription agents) We’ve investigated other possible APIs that would be needed to talk to other systems –ASIS (student records), MyReading (reading list software), Sconul, Library Analytics, British Library…

The end point An 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 library services platform solution specification document! –Possible collaboration with other institutions

This session We want to hear from you! –Discussion around workflows and interoperability, to determine how collaborative working can create efficiencies within the workflow

Discussion around workflows and interoperability Consider pressure points within your current workflows and how efficiencies could be made Which suppliers would you need to work with to make this possible

Discussion around workflows and interoperability

In summary HIKE involved collaboration with suppliers, JISC Collections, colleagues from other departments and colleagues from other institutions Collaboration with suppliers presents the opportunity to feed in to the development of a system and influence the way in which it works Collaboration with colleagues from different institutions allows you to share experiences, learn about other systems on the market and consider your processes from another angle
