- software such as Trello, Basecamp, and Confluence that can improve communications workflows;
- ticketing systems and training to help frontline staff solve e-resource access problems;
- engaging faculty in collection decisions using a mix of communication channels;
- how informational classes on metadata can improve the work of staff across the library;
- supporting research data management through metadata outreach;
