This Goes with This Goes with That: Maximising the Modular Approach in Library Systems

چکیده
Libraries for many years have been trying to make the information-seeking process easier and more convenient for users. USQ Library, with its high proportion of off-campus students, has felt this challenge more keenly than most. Over the last 18 months, the Library has implemented federated search, interlibrary loans and off-campus delivery through a single interface, branded “DocEx”. This paper explores some of the key issues in the planning and implementation of this initiative: system interoperability, staff training, vendor relationships, client consultation, and other business and technical issues. The paper evaluates the impact of this initiative on the Library's service delivery.
