Abstract
When the surrounding world put greater demands on the libraries, and the resources don’t always grow at the same pace, we are looking at ways to simplify our processes working with E-resources. We have experienced that it’s difficult to make systems to interact each other. Implementing new systems and tools bring challenges. This can lead to complex relations and lack of interaction between the different systems. In Uppsala we try to streamline and simplify the processes involved in the management of E-resources. What makes it more efficient for librarians working with the systems, and how does the systems affect the user experience?

Linda Vidlund and Cecilia Petersson won the prize from Technology House as the innovator of the Year 2011. It was awarded to them for the work on the digital collections that have been integrated and visualized in the physical premises. They have used a variety of techniques; QR codes, AR, screens and expertise to create added value in the room. They brought digital resources in a context where the users are, and created commitment and competence for both users and staff.
