Peta Hopkins  Manager, Digital Library Services Peta leads the Digital Library Services Team at Bond University. The team is responsible for administration of the library's technology and supports other Library teams with innovating business processes. | RapidILL and Rapido : innovation, metrics, process In 2019, Bond University Library made the bold move to set "Expand Beyond the Library" as the default search scope for most of the year resulting in a significant increase in Resource Sharing requests. Find out how RapidILL and later Rapido has subsequently helped us aim for a return of increased requesting. Some analytics reports will be demonstrated to show how these changes have impacted on the nature of work for our customer services team. | |
Margarita Moreno Director Trove Outreach, National Library of Australia | Up to date with OAI-PMH Daily Update In 2019/2020, the National Library commenced a program to review the organisation with a view to develop capabilities that better fit our changing environment. Staff who had previously worked in separate teams servicing either Trove or the ANBD came together to form a single new “Data and Platforms” section. That sharing of capabilities and system knowledge sparked a change in approach that is re-shaping how libraries contribute data to the ANBD. Keeping holdings up to date is a challenge for all libraries, particularly with the limited methods made available for contributing to the ANBD which required technical expertise, time and the right system to share data. Yet accurate holdings are crucial to making ILL/DD efficient and minimising time wasted. Since the first pilot OAI-PMH Daily Update site in December 2019 there are now 147 libraries, almost all of them in the public library sector, daily syncing with the ANBD. New holdings are added, weeded collections items are removed, all automatically and all within 24 hours of the change in the library's own ILMS. Libraries who previously contributed sporadically or not at all, whose holdings data was up to 10 years out of date, are now the most up to date libraries on the ANBD and are some of the best placed to support efficient resource sharing. | Recording |
