We have commissioned a number of free tools that provide advice on copyright, information to help librarians make informed decisions about the acquisition of e-resources and aid the embedding and use of content.
- Our Academic
Database Assessment Tool helps libraries to make informed decisions about future
subscriptions to bibliographic and full text databases. The tool allows
you to compare journal title lists, database and e-book platforms as
well as viewing database dashbords and database title list updates.
- Our Interactive copyright tools show the flow of content and the rights associated with differnt types of content. The tools will help you to make sense of copyright to ensure that content can be used legitimately. They also provide links to other resources that can help address rights issues.
- The Identity Management Toolkit provides comprehensive and valuable support for those who want to get the most out of federated access management. It offers advice on exploiting richer attribute sets and group management. It covers ID governance, components, functions, defining institutional requirements, and ID auditing gap analysis. It also provides a roadmap for producing an identity management programme plan.
- Our FE Exemplars demonstrate how practitioners in Further Education can use online resources to support and enhance teaching and learning. The exemplars inlcude scenarios for classrooom support, home based study and vocational courses. There are exemplars in business, skills for life, leisure, history and hairdressing.
