Session B: Change Management for Libraries (11.00 – 12.00) Speakers: John Paschoud and Peter Spring, London School of Economics This session is aimed at institutional library staff and Athens administrators. Adopting federated access management will require a change to the way in which students are trained in using access management. This will have an impact on institutional libraries in a variety of ways: updating user guides, training staff to answer queries, updating electronic catalogue links etc. This presentation will be run by institutions that have already started that process, and give guidance on how to manage the necessary change.
