Announcing Lean Library’s First Further Education Partner, The College Merthyr Tydfil

The College Merthyr Tydfil (TCMT) is a Further Education (FE) college located in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, United Kingdom with around 4,000 students and 250 staff members. Merthyr Tydfil are partnering with Technology from Sage to implement Lean Library and Lean Library Workspace (formerly Sciwheel) to further showcase library collections within student and researcher workflows.

Lean Library integrates library collections and services directly into students’ online workflows, making it easier for students to access the resources they need without leaving their current tasks. This not only increases the visibility and usage of library resources but also enhances student productivity by saving them time and effort in accessing necessary research materials.

TCMT will also be introducing Lean Library Workspace, an end-to-end research tool, to its students to support them with reference management, project collaboration and authoring work. These capabilities support TCMT’s values of developing student skills and supporting learners of every ability.

Erika Neck, Learning and Digital Resources Coordinator at The College Merthyr Tydfil comments “Our students love using Lean Library, so easy to bring the library service to their research rather than asking them to come to us. The Workspace is the ideal tool to also help them with their referencing and for them to cite resources quickly and easily. This was easy to setup and implement and is a great tool to find resources that we already subscribe to and that are Open Access.”

As Technology from Sage’s first FE partner for Lean Library, TCMT is poised to provide a more supportive, and stress-free learning environment for its student community.
