Technology to access materials remotely has gone from document delivery via snail mail to documents received electronically. No longer do users have to come into the library to find articles in scholarly journals, magazines, and newspapers. Books are not always available electronically, but users can search the library’s online catalog to find print and e-books without going to the library. The primary technologies used to access materials off-campus are virtual private networks (VPN) and EZproxy. These technologies authenticate users through a password. Once they are authenticated they can access the library collections for their research.

Library Collections

Remote access technologies for library collections are the result of the growth of distance education programs in higher education. With the increased demand for online education, students needed a way to access library collections without coming to campus. As technology improved, the ability for students to use a library’s database without coming to a physical campus became a reality. Through such technologies as virtual private networks (VPN) and EZProxy, students could use their ID and password to gain access to library collections. Distance education was the driving force behind the need to provide remote access to collections. As a result, students now have the ability to search a library’s catalog or find articles in a database without coming to campus, anytime of the day or night. Librarians also have the opportunity to promote library resources and teach synchronous instruction sessions in online classes. Remote access technologies provide students, faculty, and librarians with the opportunity to meet user needs regardless of whether or not they are on campus. This chapter examines the growth of distance education programs at post-secondary schools, a trend expected to continue for the near future.

Document Delivery Service

Purpose This study aims to describe the current status and usage trends of a new document delivery service (DDS) for foreign scholarly journals in Korea. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 2010 to 2016 for the number of foreign journal subscriptions held by Foreign Research Information Centers (FRICs), number of FRIC DDS requests, the amount of government funds spent on the subscriptions, etc. Findings There has been an increase in the number of foreign journal subscriptions and DDS transactions by FRICs, especially in the fields of science, technology and medicine. Originality/value The DDS project in this study offers a useful example of collaboration between the government and academic libraries to provide research communities with foreign scholarly journals.

Quality Of Research

Linking a publication with scientific research results and the use of information resources is a key component of the collection, development and assessment of an academic library. Librarians often use quantitative data, but it is not easy to come by. Directly connecting library and information services to the impact they have can be quite difficult. Focusing on the 2010–2014 period, we have linked the quality and quantity of published papers to usage statistics for the newly acquired consortia access to scholarly journals in three international publisher databases: ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and WileyOnline. We found that the share of scholarly journals from the ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and WileyOnline consortia cited by University of Primorska researchers’ in their scholarly papers has gradually increased every year, ranging from 13.5% in 2010 up to 24.8% in 2014. The share of scholarly papers published by University of Primorska researchers’ in scholarly journals with the highest impact (measured in Web of Science and Scopus) has also increased substantially, from 18.03% in 2011 to 31.55% in 2014. Study shows that better access to quality information resources for scientific researchers lead to an increase in its use and results in higher quality research shown by the gradual increase of publications of research results in higher impact scholarly journals.

Abstract Aim To assess how surgical units innovated and adapted to meet the Lockdown challenges and highlight best practice development Methods Look at the Royal Surgical Colleges and national surgical society Guidelines during the pandemic and recovery phase of the Lockdowns. To assess how to local trust level modifications made in the first lockdown were reinforced during the second lockdown. Results During the first lockdown all elective surgical activity was suspended from 14th March. Day case urgent elective work restarted after 6 weeks, during this period only life and limb saving emergencies were performed on CEPOD theatres. Full PPE, aerosol generating precautions and thorough cleaning between cases ensured that no healthcare worker developed COVID-19 from occupational exposure in Theatres. Remote access from home has been a boon. The outpatients rapidly moved to online appointments. No routine follow up scans were done. Endovascular interventions increased. The telephonic clinics have reduced footfall, allowed routine follow-ups to be permanently put on telephonic clinics and patients too seem to be satisfied that they do not have to waste a day for a 10 minute appointment to come and be told that we will see you again in 12months time. Non-essential surgery has stopped, Conclusion Pandemic has been a time for surgeons to reflect on their practice. Instead of going back to old ways-outpatient clinics, day surgery units and main theatres have seen rapid adaptation of newer ideas. Pandemic has fast forwarded innovation in the NHS.
