Library Systems & Technologies Group

The Mercian Library Systems and Technologies Group aims to be a community of practice of staff responsible for implementing and managing various systems within the digital library ecosystem.  

Group members will discuss issues from a multi-system perspective, comparing solutions and approaches, and will draw upon each others experience in managing operational issues and introducing change.

Staff of academic libraries under the Mercian Collaboration are welcome to subscribe and join the MERCIAN-TECHNOLOGIES@JISCMAIL.AC.UK list.

• Bertha Low - Birmingham City University (bertha.low@bcu.ac.uk)
• Frances Machell - University of Birmingham (f.e.machell@bham.ac.uk)
• Chantelle Wilcox – Newman University (c.wilcox@staff.newman.ac.uk)
