Goals and Objectives 3:
Staff, organize, and develop human resources to encourage optimal performance and to enhance effective communication.

Establish an organizational structure that enhances effectiveness and communication among library staff

With a focus on building infrastructure, a phased reorganization plan was developed.  Phase I created three library divisions:

• Access Services – circulation, reserves, and interlibrary loan

• Information Services – reference, instruction and electronic resources

• Technical Services – acquisitions, cataloging, and serials

Newly created division head positions were filled internally – Cindy Schofield-Bodt, Head of Technical Services; Susan Miller, Head of Information Services; and Shirley Cavanagh, Head of Access Services.  Phase II created functional specialties in special collections, library instruction, and electronic resources. These positions were also filled through internal searches – Paul Holmer, Special Collections Librarian; Clara Ogbaa, Instruction Coordinator; and Susan Clerc, Electronic Resources Coordinator.   Phase III moved to a subject-specialist model to better meet the reference, instruction, and collection development needs of the academic community – business, education, health science/sciences, and social sciences.  Diane Tomasko accepted the position of Business Reference Librarian; external searches for the other subject specialist positions were initiated in spring 2000. The restructuring plan was not intended to be static – it should and will change as the information environment, the University, and the Library evolves (Appendix I).

Schedule regular general staff meetings to enhance participation and communication

Regular staff meetings provided many opportunities for staff to share information on departmental projects and workflow, professional development activities, and major library initiatives.
