II.1.5)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
Current resource list processes are complex, inefficient and subject to delays because of the large number of separate interactions required with University schools (e.g. School of Biosciences) The current in-house system to manage resource lists has been greatly enhanced, but does not integrate with Canvas
The new system will sit alongside the current library and university systems in operation:
— Aleph Library Management System (Ex Libris);
— Primo Resource Discovery Service (Ex Libris);
— SFX Link Resolver (Ex Libris);
— Metalib Metasearch Portal (Ex Libris);
— VERDE E-Resource Management System (Ex Libris);
— Canvas Virtual Learning Environment (Instructure);
— Banner student registry system (Ellucian).
Our current reading list system maintains 5 500 active reading lists and 76 000 reading list items which will require migration to the new reading list and digitised content management system.
In order to provide maximum benefit to users of the system, the University requires an implementation plan that will be completed by September 2015. This will include initial system implementation, configuration and data migration. An internal phase 2 of workflow rollout to academic departments is anticipated following the completion of system implementation.
