Within the session I would like to talk about how the University of Gloucestershire implemented and are now using Tipasa and the affects of this change. Some points to consider are;• Transition from WMS ILL to Tipasa, the benefits and lessons learnt • The usefulness of the configuration module when implementing Tipasa • Targeted ILL as a way to enhance student satisfaction and access to resources e.g. our free ILLs for level 6 • This importance of ILL for an institution with a low resources budget – enabling research and supplementing our limited subscriptions (just in time vs just in case) • Improvements to our ILL service from working with international lending libraries • Our own trends in ILL since Tipasa, increased user uptake, easy to use interface when placing a request, cost-savings, improved ability to source items • ILL in the future – improvements and recommendations for Tipasa
I work as the Inter-Library Loan Officer for the University of Gloucestershire, I've worked at the University since 2005 in a variety of different roles within the Library.
