In determining the type of products, locations, access, and how to publicise their availability, the University drew upon the knowledge gained during the pilot programme that ran in each of the 3 academic years AY21/22, 22/23 and 23/24 and from the online staff and student consultation survey that opened on 14th June 2024 and closed on 1st September 2024.
