Libraries as part of the community as in not just serving their immediate user community.

Partnerships between academic and public libraries in their local authorities. Is there more scope for shared access e.g. in the same way WHELF does in Wales. Are there other similar examples? Opportunity for a shared webinar.

Content creation to service provision?

What KPIs and monitoring are people doing on the supplier they are working with AFTER the tender/framework is agreed?
How can you use the data to go back to your supplier to say "We're not happy with X" e.g. point of order to point of rec.
Do you know what your KPIs are?  How can you put the systems in place to monitor and manage this data?  Can the supplier provide that data for you?
Tips to know what data is out there! (Jeff)

Publishers - getting the give and take - someone borrows a book from public libraries and then buys the book.  Working to highlight authors and especially new authors. Broker relationships with those publishers enmasse to say to them "we are a huge force for sales - help us"

Negotiating individually with publishers rather than going through aggregator etc - what kind of gains/savings that can be made.

NAG as a lobbying tool - e.g. public library ebook prices and embargos. > Increase Impact team?

Procurement ethics?  E.g. Amazon.  What do you look at for a supplier who falls outside of the framework?  What do you have to be mindful of?  (Plus outside of ethics all the financial stability etc)  What can we learn from the commercial sector?  (Uni of Kent person who has commercial background)

Sustainability.  Publishers UN SDGs sign up.  Back to the book jackets!

Where can you put the onus back on the suppliers

Ethics - content of the things you acquire.

Potential conflict between the library and the rest of the University e.g. "We don't buy from Amazon but we have we have Amazon lockers on site..."

CILIP already doing quite a lot.  Build NAG ethical standpoint into webinars. (E.g. supplier neutral)

Enables buying from outside the single supplier because you can diversify your stock IF you can catalogue it...
But you have to then physically service it as well...

New people.  Quick hints and understanding the record.
Things you wouldn't normally have in LMS to make them discoverable. Things that a non-cataloguer might be faced with e.g. non English Language, non-standard materials

Recorded is key
