From strategic planning to data analysis:

Tools to collaborate successfully

Libraries are being asked to do more with less, demonstrate results across new and changing areas of practice, and contribute more directly to institutional goals. Collaborative efforts with other libraries can be a great option to meet these goals. At this one-hour session, we will:

Taken together, you’ll learn how to create a high-level strategy for collaborative efforts and then develop data insights that can help ensure success.

Work on improving your campus working relationships

Working relationships are more effective—and less stressful—when people from different areas get along. This is especially true when we share overlapping goals. But there's a gap between the desire to improve complex working relationships and the reality of making it happen. 

Join us for a 60-minute webinar as we review the research report, Social Interoperability in Research Support: Cross-Campus Partnerships and the University Research Enterprise, within the context of library operations, discuss recent next gen metadata research within the context of change management and opportunities for increased campus interaction, and introduce Talis Aspire and how its integration of library management, learning management, list management, and discovery can help build bridges between libraries, faculty, and students. Finally, hear from Edge Hill University in the UK, whose team used Talis Aspire in just this way, building real-time channels between faculty and library staff.

Register to find out more about how a realistic model for campus cooperation can take you from soft goals to concrete plans.

Assessing the library’s role in e-resource access workflows today and in the future

Join us as we explore why some library industry stakeholders seek to move e-resource access workflows away from IP authentication and toward federated access technologists like SAML. Learn:

  • How SAML and other federated access technologies differ from IP authentication
  • The implications for libraries who move toward these types of access models
  • Why SAML is complex and a barrier to many libraries and content providers who adopt it

This webinar examines the differences between SAML and IP Authentication.

We hope you’ll walk away feeling more informed about the e-resource access landscape and its impact to you and your library.


A blueprint for collection building success

Be the architect of your collections' future! By applying the OCLC Research Library Partnership's "Total Cost of Stewardship" framework and tools across multiple OCLC services, you can guarantee a strong foundation for your efforts. This report is a collection of resources designed to support libraries in making informed, shared collection building decisions.

The report's author, Chela Scott Weber, will introduce these findings and tools. She'll then be joined by OCLC product experts for WorldShare Management Services, GreenGlass, and CONTENTdm. They'll discuss how to apply her work across collection management and development areas in your library, while supporting communication between colleagues in curatorial, administrative, and technical services roles.

Stimulating Progress through a Culture of Innovation

It’s no secret that decisions you make for your library today will impact the probability of success tomorrow.

With no means of predicting the future, library leaders must focus their resources on how to best remain relevant in an ever-evolving landscape.

This webinar examines the role of innovation in the future success of libraries.
