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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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).

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