Update werkprocessen om aan de verwachtingen van gebruikers te blijven voldoen
Met dank aan Bishop Grosseteste University
"We zijn voor WorldShare Management Services gevallen omdat het een modern systeem is dat wordt doorontwikkeld en gericht is op de gebruiksvriendelijkheid voor het personeel, met een interface die onze gebruikers kennen. Wij wilden niet alleen moderniseren, maar ook de ervaring van onze studenten verbeteren."
Emma Sansby Head of Library Services aan de Bishop Grosseteste University
Bibliotheken hebben te maken met beperkte budgetten, de wensen en verwachtingen van gebruikers veranderen aan de lopende band, en de collecties en systemen worden steeds uitgebreider. Het is daarom heel belangrijk dat bibliotheken moderniseren en zich aanpassen om in te kunnen blijven spelen op deze voortdurend veranderende ontwikkelingen. Dankzij WorldShare® Management Services (WMS) kunnen bibliotheken nu profiteren van kostenbesparingen en effectievere werkprocessen. Door hun werkzaamheden te delen met andere bibliotheken, houden ze meer tijd over om de dienstverlening aan hun gebruikers te verbeteren.
De bibliotheekdirectie van Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) zocht naar een manier om tijd te besparen en de werkprocessen te moderniseren om te blijven voldoen aan de veranderende behoeften van gebruikers ten aanzien van de steeds uitgebreidere collecties. Het bibliotheekpersoneel liet het oog vallen op WMS. Ze zagen dat ze met dit pakket aan services alles konden bereiken wat de directie van hen verwachtte en dat deze beter voldeed aan de verwachtingen van hun studenten.
In 2012 werd er begonnen met de implementatie, waarbij het personeel van BGU elke twee weken overlegde met dat van OCLC om de voortgang op het gebied van datavoorbereiding, configuratie-aanpassingen en personeeltraining te bespreken.
Voor de ingebruikname van het systeem lag het systeem er twee dagen uit voor het overzetten van de data. De overlast bleef daardoor beperkt. Hierna werden er een aantal datachecks uitgevoerd. "Het was een zeer soepel en overzichtelijk proces," vertelt Emma Sansby, hoofd bibliotheekdiensten aan de Bishop Grosseteste University. "De overlast was minimaal."
"WMS bracht ons de effectiviteit van werken in de cloud – we profiteren voortaan niet alleen van de regelmatige upgrades van OCLC, maar ook van de innovaties die andere bibliotheken hebben ontwikkeld en delen. Dat spreekt ons enorm aan."
Tegelijkertijd implementeerde de universiteit ook WorldCat® Discovery van OCLC als discovery-interface voor WMS voor studenten. WorldCat Local biedt dezelfde uniforme aanpak voor gedrukte en elektronische bronnen, zodat studenten alles op één plek kunnen vinden. “Als studenten meer kunnen vinden, verwachten we dat ze ook meer tevreden zijn over de bibliotheek zelf”, aldus Emma.
De eerste reacties van studenten en docenten op WMS en WorldCat Discovery waren enthousiast. De studenten waren blij met de modernere, gebruiksvriendelijke zoekinterface. Tijdsbesparing door effectievere werkprocessen was ook een duidelijk gevolg van de implementatie. Achttien maanden nadat BGU WorldShare Management Services in gebruik heeft genomen, zijn de medewerkers nog steeds blij met hun keuze.
