Paper Abstract:
|
There has been an explosion in the use of electronic resources by students; this existing high usage of e-resources will be
intensified as virtual learning environments (VLEs) become the primary means of interaction between students and
universities. The challenge facing academic libraries is to provide appropriate resources in electronic form and through
interfaces meeting the expectations of the Net Generation. This paper reports on Bournemouth Universitys innovative
response to this challenge: leading a national tender not only for general collections of e-books, but also for bespoke
subject collections; integrating existing resources into the VLE and creating new resources; exploiting the VLE and
federated search technology. It also reports on Bournemouths current Higher Education Academy-funded pathfinder
project, Innovative E-Learning with E-Resources (eRes), to develop innovative pedagogic frameworks and an e-reading
strategy. |
