Eu sugiro que sempre comece analisando as necessidades dos seus usuários e como os recursos digitais estão sendo acessados. É fundamental estabelecer estratégias de inclusão, como garantir que as plataformas digitais sejam acessíveis para todos, incluindo aqueles com limitações tecnológicas ou de conectividade. Adicionalmente, a curadoria de conteúdo relevante e a oferta de capacitações para os usuários também são essenciais.

Increase your database so it’s accessible to every student and track their progress. Some students just take resources but don’t use them. This way, they will get a warning that they need to use it and share a report. The report will help improve the next library usage and give you an O1 score, showing how much you benefited from the library. This will encourage serious students to move forward. This is my suggestion.

To ensure fair access to high-demand digital resources, implement measures like limiting concurrent usage, offering scheduled access, prioritizing critical needs, notifying users when resources are available, and expanding the collection when possible. Clear usage guidelines can also help maintain fairness for all users.
