Measuring and monitoring the benefits of a shared LMS Project overview Graham Hay & Michael Lee 15 June 2016

Outline of the presentation overarching aims methods, approach & timetable required engagement CE’s example work

Overarching objectives key questions: what benefits have been achieved and can be anticipated going forwards as a result of the shared Library Management System? evidence framework key outputs conceptual framework some quantitative evidence on benefits to date recommended approaches for measuring benefits in future

Proposed approach methods desk-based research data gathering data use workshop assessing the possibility of measuring benefits in quantitative terms testing the feasibility of implementing different techniques to measure different future benefits among institutions/as a consortium

Overview of approach In this task we will review and reflect on past work to identify the benefits of a shared LMS, and assess the range of available evidence on the benefits of shared LMS. Literature that we plan to analyse include: Internal 2012 report: WHELF Sharing a Library Management System – Research, Scoping, and Specification Study (pre-cursor to feasibility study) Business case developed from the feasibility study Road-map and timelines for implementation Individual institutions business cases This will help us to understand: the situation pre-shared LMS and how that was expected to change following the implementation of the shared LMS; which benefits had been identified and additional information around the realisation of these benefits (e.g. channels of realisation, potential metrics for measuring).

Engagement two workshops interviews July early September following second workshop September to November establishing bilateral exchanges with key personnel within institutions
