Description

ALIA Information Online 2015 Conference, 2-5 February 2015, Sydney: at the edge.
 
This conference presentation (PowerPoint slides) discusses the new system launched by UNSW Library in 2013 to manage information about the research outputs produced at UNSW. In addition to the work expected as a part of a major technical implementation, the rollout of this system involved communication and support for up to 15,000 users, demanding skills that no single team at UNSW Library could provide on its own. The situation lent itself to collaboration.
 
Collaboration allows libraries to respond to complex new opportunities and challenges by bringing together diverse knowledge and skills sets. The analysis of UNSW Library’s experiences and a review of the relevant literature identified four key elements for collaboration: interpersonal, developmental, organisational and leadership. This paper will evaluate the collaborative enterprise undertaken at UNSW Library and demonstrate the value collaboration can bring to project delivery within the framework provided by these four elements.
