The benefits of the realignment have been: dedicated staff for each functional area, better oversight and joined-up thinking across the institution, and greater parity of service to all schools #CILIPNE

Distribution of new roles was based partly on librarians indicating their preference, as well as matching up their skillsets, focus and expertise #CILIPNE

Thank you to Marie and Aimee for their thought-provoking presentation on the reorganisation of an academic library #CILIPNE

Our final presentation of today’s event is ‘Pathways – a journey into the centre of libraries’, from Lisa Anderson, Library Service Manager, and James Bywater, University of Northampton #CILIPNE

Lisa and James started a chat service to provide support to students who were anxious about approaching the Library. They wanted it to be accessible and low-stakes #CILIPNE

This service looked to break down hidden barriers to using library services, and was intended to fit in with the other services on offer within the library #CILIPNE

The service 'Pathways' looked to de-mystify the library for both new and existing students who are uncertain as to how to use the library. It was designed to encourage questions, be quick to read, and without judgement #CILIPNE

'Pathways' was designed to be used both by students pre-arrival at university, and to be linked to by academics from their VLE #CILIPNE

Pathways is currently a work in progress, and is likely to be continuously emergent, as new topics are added and information edited over the years #CILIPNE

Stock images used on Pathways are currently being replaced by images taken by Library staff which, in addition to the videos being created, provides a creative outlet for Library staff #CILIPNE

The next step is to collate student feedback on the Pathways project #CILIPNE

Thank you to Lisa and James for their insightful presentation on a really important project that will be sure to have major benefits for their students, as well as the library itself #CILIPNE

That brings to a close our presentations for the day. Thank you again to all of our speakers for their wonderful and varied presentations #CILIPNE

Biddy draws the conference to a conclusion by thanking all presenters and highlighting the relevance and importance of all topics discussed today across the sector, to libraries, students and library users, staff, and indeed CILIP itself #CILIPNE

Thank you again to all of our presenters and attendees for a very successful Beyond the Horizon 2024! Thank you also to Biddy, who has once again been a wonderful Chair - we will miss you! #CILIPNE
