7. Develop and maintain effective working relationships with Library colleagues, and with academic, professional and research colleagues to build efficient, high quality collections development workflows responsive to the University’s corporate, research, and learning objectives.

8. Support Library Collections’ wide-ranging activities, contributing to the delivery of services, responding constructively to ad hoc requests, and engaging with longer-term service development and enhancement programmes.
