The DiVLE Programme: outputs and outcomes

The paper proposes to investigate the themes and findings of the ten‐month Linking Digital Libraries with Virtual Learning Environments (DiVLE) programme.

The paper describes the themes and findings of the DiVLE programme.

A key challenge in higher education is to reduce barriers to learning technologists and library staff working together. By investigating the potential connection between digital libraries and learning environments the programme contributed to this. Key findings were the need for consensus on and maturity of standards and identification of clear benefits for end‐users. Project outputs included tools, evaluations of commercial products and proof of concept trials.
