3. What’s next?
3. What’s next?
Some potential uses of open reading list data› Identify in demand texts for national deals
– Requires common standard(s) for data harvesting & probably some data normalisation too
› Monitor take up of / opportunities for open textbooks
› Discover potential new texts for your own reading lists from equivalent courses elsewhere
› Head’s up re books that could be weeded out

Other than supporting students in their studies, what use is a reading list? Discuss!
› What does/can the Library do with it?› What does/can the academic departments do with it?› What does/can the institution (as a whole) do with it?› What more could you do if you had access to reading
list data from other institutions?› What are the barriers (if any) that would prevent your
institution from sharing list reading list data?
