ACLS Humanities E-book Collection - Page views

Local Issues• Two campuses = 2 instances of WCL

– No ‘main’ campus, 1 hour apart travelling time

• Not compatible with ‘Classic’ Athens– Limits consolidated searching options– Works with Shibboleth / EZProxy

• Print journals display not ideal– Limitations due to our LMS OPAC display

Wider Issues• Editions and formats grouped together…

– …most popular rather than latest is shown– old editions are frequently requested from storage

• Some resources not well promoted– Teaching artefacts– Special collections: provenance data

• Batch processing / deletion
