Goals and Objectives 2:
Provide services designed to support the University’s mission, to facilitate the use of library resources, and to promote information literacy.

Provide consistent coverage of the circulation desk.

Consistent coverage of all service points was identified as the most critical service need in FY2000.  Immediate solutions were to hire student assistants to cover evening and weekend hours at the circulation desk.  Karl Groneman, Library Technical Assistant – Evening Circulation Supervisor, was appointed on April 7 with the primary responsibility of providing basic coverage of the circulation desk and supervision of student assistants during evening hours.  On June 16 Tom McCormack assumed the duties of Library Technical Assistant – Information Services Assistant.  In addition to his primary responsibilities in Information Services, he supervises circulation services and student assistants on Saturdays, and provides back-up at other times if necessary.  

Establish a periodicals information desk on the lower level to provide assistance in locating and using journals and microform resources. 

An information desk was established in Fall 1999 in the periodicals reading room.  It is staffed during all hours of library operation, primarily with students who are trained to provide basic assistance in locating journals and using the microform reader/printers.  Initial feedback from students and faculty has been extremely positive.  

Design a library instruction program that meets the current major needs of the curriculum while planning for staged growth of the program as Information Services staffing increases

The Library Instruction Team taught 90 classes in FY2000, providing general and subject-specific instruction to 1803 students. In addition to the formal classes, 634 students were reached through the Library orientation tours.
