Stock Go digital strategy for collection management/development Always purchase items in electronic format, if available Access over holdings is important for students On large modules Studying at a distance Overseas (although some licences are inhibiting) Helped by Patron Driven Acquisitions (PDA) Evidence Based Acquisitions (EBA) Ongoing print stock editing process Any items not borrowed for 4 years are withdrawn Just in time rather than just in case

Reading lists Piloted during 2016/17 - http://readinglists.uwe.ac.uk Aim to have 75% of reading lists in the system by May 2018 A good reading list should: Enhance students' experience by helping them manage their academic reading and provide structure to their learning. Underpin independent learning, as students develop from dependent to autonomous learners by exposing them to a range of materials and information sources.  Raise interest and engagement in the subject. Enable students to access the digital content they need anywhere from any device.  Involve partnerships between subject librarians and module leaders at the module development stage.
