 The NBK, originally proposed in Jisc’s [[https://​www.jisc.ac.uk/​rd/​projects/​national-monograph-strategy|National Monograph Strategy]], will support the learning and research needs of the UK higher education community. The vision is to extend the capabilities of the current Copac service, by investing in technology that can ingest diverse library data at higher speed and greater volume. The new service will enable a shift in the way that libraries manage their print and digital collections and in the ways that people access those resources. The NBK, originally proposed in Jisc’s [[https://​www.jisc.ac.uk/​rd/​projects/​national-monograph-strategy|National Monograph Strategy]], will support the learning and research needs of the UK higher education community.

 "​Qualitative feedback from library users indicated that the time was right to fundamentally review the workflows in the library and to improve the student experience,​” said RGU Library Director Margaret Buchan. “Our ability to effectively manage the life cycle of electronic resources is currently hampered by the lack of flexible library analytics and an electronic resource management function. In addition, IT and library staff time is often spent carrying out hosting tasks and backing up, maintaining,​ and upgrading the library system, servers, and client applications.
