Hello Everyone,
As I’m writing this portion of the FLVC Library Services Update, the new year is only just over a month away. It’s hard to believe that 2025 is almost upon us!
2024 has been a very successful year for FLVC Library Services. As we look back over the past year, here are some highlights:
- Migration to OpenAthens of all 40 member institutions. OpenAthens dramatically improves access to library electronic resources and simplifies the user experience. It also provides robust analytics to help libraries make informed decisions and demonstrate the value of e-resources.
- Acquisition of the OpenAthens API for all member libraries, which will provide new options to analyze connections between the use of library electronic resources and student success metrics with enhanced data visualizations.
- Continued growth in the scope and number of learning opportunities provided through the Professional Development Alliance. FLVC enables access to valuable learning and training opportunities at no cost to libraries.
- For libraries that wish to have additional professional learning opportunities, FLVC has negotiated a group license with preferential pricing for Skilltype, a learning platform developed for librarians.
- New electronic resource subscriptions!
