Digital Lancaster
Lancaster University's Digital Vision
Led by ISS, developed through consultation with departments. Library had a key role. Five goals each focusing on a different aspect of the strategy closely aligned with the University strategy. In addition, there are four digital enablers that underpins these five digital goals.
It is being implemented by a series of strategic initiatives associated with each of the goals. Library has some involvement with each of these initiatives and that is what we will be covering today.
Get your post it notes ready and we will take you through some of these initiatives.

Digital by design
* Highly efficient and effective digital ways of working
* Personalised services
Internal services - staff intranet, digital ways of working internally, digital action planning, annual leave, staff development requests, large number of our staff has mobile devices provided by work to get them used to working digitally.
External services - We recognise that in many ways, we are a bit late to the party and many of you already have excellent digital services. We have now developed sound principles, which includes digital services first, e-first policy for procurement of books, moving to an automated enquiry service, and establishment of a central digitisation service.
