Ensuring Discovery beyond the Library Catalogue: A Use Case from University of Leeds Libraries
Event part
Conference
Abstract
A recent University of Leeds survey revealed that 79% of their students start their research on the library catalogue Primo. Juxtaposed with recent Technology from Sage research into undergraduate workflows which found that 63% search for resources on Google before visiting their library website, this raises important questions about how libraries can better understand and meet the diverse needs of their student communities.
In this session, discover how the University of Leeds Libraries have adopted an inside-out approach by leveraging Lean Library and targeted marketing—such as Primo banners, digital displays across study spaces, and outreach to customer-facing colleagues—to reach audiences. We’ll also share emerging global insights, including the growing role of ChatGPT and generative AI in research, and discuss how libraries can provide trusted resources, citation guidance, and AI support to ensure seamless and accessible research experiences for all.
