  1. Integrating Learning Resources in StudyNet Paul Hudson Learning Technology Development Unit Learning and Information Services University of Hertfordshire

  2. What I will be covering…. • StudyNet - Hertfordshire’s Managed Learning Environment • Integration with Voyager • Live demonstration • Targeted information resources for staff and students • Live demonstration • Where Next?

  3. StudyNet development • Development started December 2000 • Developed in-house by the LTDU • Developed using Lotus Domino • Re-use existing data wherever possible i.e. Genesis - student record system Voyager - Resource Management system

  4. StudyNet development • ‘Pilot’ released September 2001/2: • 22,000 users • Website created for every module • 50% usage April 2002

  5. StudyNet - now • 5 million logins • 13000 module websites • System has developed to meet the needs of academics • Successful CETL bid – ‘BLU’

  6. The Role of Voyager(the library catalogue)

  7. Initial Voyager Integration • Search Voyager from StudyNet • Automatic logon • Reading list manager

  8. The need for a Reading List Manager Pilot with philosophy identified….. • Reading Lists generally out of date • Inappropriate stock levels • Voyager reading lists unmanageable

  9. Features of a reading list manager • Create reading list items via Voyager • Check stock levels of core items • Request new copies • Information Consultants could help academics update their reading list to reflect new editions

  10. Let’s have a look around

  11. LIS Learning Resources • A-Z Lists of E-Journals • New books • Exam Papers • Consultants ‘subject’ web pages However • Level of support was patchy • Duplication of work and data • Data couldn’t be reused

  12. LIS Learning Resources • One central data source (Voyager) • Remove duplication of work • Provide simple tools to manage and organise resources • Consistent level of support

  13. Targeting Central Resources Project • Project funded by University • Catalogue and categorise by ‘subject’ central information resources. • To use the categories to provide an information resources environment: • Determined by programme of study

  14. The Implementation • Weekly data export of journals and websites • StudyNet database holds partial holdings record • Data is classified by type and subject • Hierarchal browsing interface • Tools to create subject pages / integrate resources in to modules.
