The Connected Library: Elevating research with intuitive, seamless access

The quest by researchers to access relevant content is always a challenge. A recent OpenAthens’ report found that 31% of researchers don’t have access to all the content they need. In today’s digital age, how can we ensure researchers seamlessly discover the relevant resources at the right time and in the right place?

This session explores how library technology (specifically, resource access and workflow services tools) work together to make sure researchers have seamless access to the library’s collections and relevant resources, even when they begin their research outside of the library.

Attendees learn how academic libraries can ensure a smooth research journey for students and researchers, how to maximize usage of library collections, and how to bring the library discovery service into patron workflows, no matter where the user starts, ultimately, increasing student engagement and research outcomes.
