Abstract

The biggest organisational change in La Trobe University’s history provided an opportunity for the University Library not only to review its operating model and staffing structure, but also to identify the roles required now and into the future. As part of the review, the Library assessed the capabilities and skills of its staff, created opportunities for strengthening these, and identified new capabilities and skills to meet emerging priorities in the Library and the University. This paper outlines key aspects of these processes that have resulted in the development of a new workplace culture, which explicitly aligns capability, services and partnerships with the University’s strategic objectives.

Abstract

The implementation of an automated storage and retrieval system at Macquarie University Library offered clear benefits for managing our collection, but the impact on clients of the library was largely unknown. Client acceptance was critically important to the success of the project; we used this opportunity to work more closely with clients, change perceptions and identify new ways of improving both physical and virtual access to the collection. This paper will explore the implementation of this new system, the work undertaken to gain client acceptance and the development of services to improve the exposure of library resources.
