Abstract

Resource Sharing (RS) services (Document Delivery, ILL, etc.) are becoming more intuitive and responsive to user needs, however, users either accidently stumble upon or must be recommended the service in order to know it exists.

Much research has been conducted on user experience of discovery services particularly involving known items or for exploratory searches. But a lesser investigated aspect is on understanding user preferences and motivations for the uptake of Resource Sharing services. Better understanding will result in opportunities to provide a more seamless Resource Sharing service.

The presentation will explore simple methods for using Alma, Primo and Google Analytics to gather evidence and a survey to deepen knowledge about user behaviour and motivations when searching and requesting resources. The methods explored can be adopted and adapted by other institutions in order to gain insight into their unique user population and promoting their Resource Sharing service.
