Buley Library

Goals and Objectives FY2000 -2001 : Services

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

FY2001 was a year of maintaining and strengthening existing services, while coping with several full-time professional vacancies. A thirteen percent increase in circulation can be attributed to the purchase of many more new materials meeting current needs. A total of 2,250 items were placed on reserve, utilizing a new automated process. Two Hoot Loot debit card machines were placed in the library, and students are now able to pay library fines and fees with their ID cards. Interlibrary loan transactions increased slightly, while ILL turnaround time decreased by nearly 30%. Library instruction, through a total of 191 classes, orientations, tours, and individualized sessions reached 3,545 students. The Graduate Research Fellow mentorship program begun in FY2000 continued to provide the new research fellows with the individual assistance of professional librarians. Access to the expanded array of electronic resources nearly tripled, from 71,244 in FY00 to 199,325 in FY01. A Spring 2001 survey of reference services revealed a remarkable level of user satisfaction.

Shirley Cavanagh, Head of Access Services, investigated the available hardware and software options for electronic reserves and developed a proposal for a pilot project to initiate this new service. The proposal was not funded in FY2001.

A reference service survey was distributed in March 2001. Users were nearly 100% satisfied with the assistance of reference desk staff, 66% expressed satisfaction with print reference sources, and 74% were satisfied with the array of electronic resources. Problems with off-campus access to databases and the availability of an adequate number of printers in the reference area were the only notable concerns.
