Stubley (2005) explains how, facilitated by a learning and teaching grant, the University of Sheffield Library undertook a collaborative project to integrate library services in WebCT. First a user needs survey was undertaken with a large focus on academic staff needs. This was particularly illuminating and caused a full reappraisal of library services, their relevance and what was needed by academic staff. This two-way process of discussion ultimately refined the library service such that academics and students were better served by VLE/WebCT in course delivery.
