Jason Harper
Content Strategy Manager at Plymouth University
Jason is responsible for the delivery of print and digital services for the University’s staff, students and partners. In addition to the traditional “shared” library supply model of print and ebook provision. Plymouth also operates a direct etextbook supply model, providing copies of core texts to new undergraduate students. With challenges facing both the publishing world and UK HE sector, his interests lie in developing financially sustainable, mixed models for the appropriate, effective and equitable supply of information to students, incorporating choices of demand driven acquisition, licensed ebooks, copyright cleared digital content, etextbooks, and open access.
Matthew Lawson
Head of Library and Learning Enhancement at Middlesex University
Having previously worked at King’s College London and London South Bank University as well as in public libraries, Matthew is responsible for library services, including the acquisition and management of library collections, information skills, academic writing and numeracy and Student Learning Assistants.

More recently he has been focused on the seamless integration of internal business systems with the metadata and asset requirement of third party supply chain partners.
