Abstract
The University of Southern Queensland Library took a fresh approach in the implementation of Alma and Leganto in 2018 and 2019. By fully exploring the potential of working with systems and groups outside of the library eco-system, the project team was able to deliver a value added experience with several initiatives which we believe to be new and innovative. By focusing the Alma implementation on student experience and aiming to encourage and support positive behaviour, the team was able to bring fresh approaches to lending, which have had a dramatic impact. When implementing Leganto, the focus was on improving the experience for faculty members and for students. With this service focus, the team was able to work with the University's course specifications process, and with the learning management system course rollover process, to deliver a pre-populated basic reading list for all courses with no intervention required by faculty.
