Integrating A New Service Into The Learning Environment: The Value Of Communication, Gan Ye, Sally Bryant

Gan Ye

Libraries often face challenges when launching new services and integrating new applications with existing systems. Universal problems in the library world include not only technical issues but also the need for cooperation and working relationships both within the library and outside of the library. Last August XXX University Libraries completed our initial roll out of SIPX, a new electronic reserves system which is a cloud based product created by Stanford University.

Why Not Play Ball? When Athletes And Librarians Play Together, Everyone Wins, Stephanie Race, Lisandra Carmichael, Cat Silvers, Nancy Miller Mar 2016

Stephanie F Race
