Description

In past year we at Ex Libris have started to explore in depth the needs of libraries in the area of Shared Print.

We think IGeLU can be a great opportunity for a special face to face to face workshop on this important topic.

This workshop is intended to focus on all aspects of the collaborative collection analysis: main challenges, use cases , focus areas and more.
Its format will be an accelerated version of a Design Sprint.

  • So what does it mean for you?
  • A workshop of 4-5 groups each group with 4-5 people that might already have ongoing collaboration processes
  • Using sticky notes to describe in detail (the best fun way to do it face to face)
  • What does collection analysis mean to you?
  • What are the main challenges?
  • What are the focus areas?
  • How to compare resources?
  • And more…
  • Share the outcome of the workshop during the IGeLU conference (Tuesday 16th 16:00 ) and with the wider Alma community.

Who should sign up for this workshop?

  • Collection Management Librarian
  • (Associate) Librarian for Collection Services or Collection Services Librarian
  • Collections Development, Electronic Resources, and Systems Librarian (this is one whole title! So much work!)
  • Tech Services Manager
  • Systems Librarian

Since roles definition may vary from library to library, don’t hesitate to register if you feel collection development and cooperation with other libraries is part of your day-to-day job
