Exploring the Cultural Issues
Linking libraries with VLEs
Supporting Education and Research
A simple/cynical view….

Supermarket analogy
"….views other staff as simply servicing the wishes of academics…. Selecting resources from the 'shelves'….helpedby librarians as 'shop assistants'. …reach(ing) the 'checkout', they handover these resources in order forcopyright clearance by the 'cashier',then a 'packer', who embeds the material in the VLE ('carrier bag') and returns it to the academic." DEVIL Project
Supporting Education and Research
Some Cultural Issues
explored by
an academic, librarian, learning technologist and student
and
yourselves
Supporting Education and Research
Disclaimer
“The views expressed are not necessarily (although they MIGHT be) representative of conditions at any real institution... and definitely not those of the presenters, who absolve themselves from all responsibility for any twinges of self-recognition amongst the audience."
Supporting Education and Research
The Academic
My reading list represents my expertise, that’s why I won’t let the library have
it…
Supporting Education and Research
The Student
I know more about using the VLE than my lecturer does – he needs some training in making
more effective use of technology.
Supporting Education and Research
The Librarian
It is all about getting academics and the learner
closer to the library….
Supporting Education and Research
The Learning Technologist
I’ve written lots of tools to help academics link
libraries and VLEs, but they won’t use them!
Supporting Education and Research
The Academic
The best materials students get are the ones I write myself
You can’t let students use the web as they can’t select good
from bad
Supporting Education and Research
The Student
My tutor tells me to go and research my assignment on the internet…but it takes me hours to find the relevant information as I don’t have any information skills.I just want to be able print it out and why does it take so long to download?
Supporting Education and Research
The Student
Why do we have to plough through textbooks on screen? Surely there are better ways of
using the technology?
Supporting Education and Research
Implications for libraries
• New responsibilities for digital assets• Exposing services• More responsive to needs• New roles e.g. electronic copyright clearance
• Converge towards sector standards in handling meta-data
• Central vs local resources• Ethics vs service• …….
Supporting Education and Research
Implications for learners
• Bandwidth to access resources
• New skills for information management
• Responsibility for own learning e.g. create a '"my resources" list associated with each course
Supporting Education and Research
Implications for staff/librarians
• Collaboration between libraries, IT staff, learning technologists, academics, vendors, etc.
• Asset management – copyright– archiving of electronically provided
courses– promotion of the electronic repositories
which are provided by the university
Supporting Education and Research
Implications for academics
• Staff development.– finding a structured and balanced range
of resources for a course– interact with VLEs differently to use of
digital repositories– relationship with support services
• Ownership' of resources (IPR)
