Competing for Fun and Funds: The 1st Annual ‘Wake the Library’ 5k
Erik Mitchell, Susan Smith, and Mary Beth Lock , Wake Forest University
This session will be a case study of the inaugural “Wake the Library” 5k held in the Fall of 2008 on the campus of Wake Forest University. The 5k was conceived earlier in the year as a means of fund raising for the semi-annual all-night study event in the Z. Smith Reynolds Library. As planning for the race progressed, it became apparent that the process was more complex than we anticipated but also more rewarding. This session will cover what we learned about librarians as race coordinators, what unexpected challenges and opportunities we found, how, (and who) to ask for support, and how events like this can promote the library to the wider community.

Wake Forest University Faculty Survey 2016Susan Smith
The survey of 167 Wake Forest University faculty found:
- Faculty value the library's role in paying for resources but rated digital research activities lower than peers.
- Two-thirds were comfortable replacing print journals with electronic versions. Half saw roles for both print and digital books.
- Faculty said undergraduate students have poor research skills and improving them is important. Two-thirds agreed librarians significantly help with student learning.
- Most visited the library weekly and were satisfied with facilities but less so with workspaces. Six in ten were highly dependent on the library.
This document discusses developing a culture of assessment in academic libraries. It defines assessment as a process to understand user needs and evaluate how well the library supports those needs to improve services. The key aspects of a culture of assessment are that decisions are based on research and facts, and services are planned and delivered to maximize positive outcomes. The document recommends libraries develop assessment skills among staff, ensure assessment aligns with institutional goals, and use assessment data in decision-making to improve practices and participate in campus-wide evaluation. It provides examples of factors that can facilitate or hinder developing such a culture, and suggests libraries implement both broad assessments and local team-based assessments as part of moving forward to create a culture of assessment.
Lessons Learned: Through a Librarian's LensSusan Smith
Through her career as a librarian, Susan Sharpless Smith has learned many valuable life lessons. She learned from her mother the importance of cleanliness, education, and acting appropriately as a young woman. As a library director, she recognized the value in team building, getting outside one's comfort zone, and focusing on relationships rather than individual accomplishments. She also learned to take risks by creating new library spaces and programs that benefited both students and faculty.
What ZSR Library Does to Build Value/Sage Value ResearchSusan Smith
This document summarizes research on how academic libraries can build value for teaching and research staff. The research included literature reviews, case studies of libraries in the UK, US and Scandinavia, and surveys of librarians. Key findings were that faculty have positive perceptions of libraries but may not understand the full scope of services, and personal relationships between librarians and faculty are important. Recommendations include knowing faculty needs, expanding librarian skills beyond traditional roles, documenting partnership building, and collecting evidence of library value through success stories and metrics.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
WFU is an AcademicCollegiate UniversityPrivate, co-ed liberal arts institutionLocated in Winston-Salem, NC (since 1956)It is mid-size, 4476 undergraduates, Total enrollment: 6862The campus is a traditional Setting, with the majority of undergraduates living on campus This makes them very reliant on their library for study space and services.
“to help our faculty, students and staff succeed.”The library is patron centered in everything we doAnd, “Wake the library” is a prime example of ways that we have worked to extend our services to meet the student’s needs.
Wake the library began as an idea by Lynn Sutton, who, 5 years ago, as a new director there, proposed that the library stay open all night to accommodate students who needed to study during exams.The staff of the library decided to go one better by not only staying open all night, but also feeding the students at midnight. The library fundraising began…staff contacted on campus departments also focused on student success to seek funding so that we could purchase food for the 250 to 300 students who would study there all night.We only did internal requests, funders lost a bit of interest after a few yearsAfter 5 years, our internal funding was beginning to dry up, so we needed a solution to how to continue to raise funds for the event…since our students continued to stay VERY interested in the nightly food fest.
What is was:A 5k (runner and walker friendly)Preceded by a1 mile fun runMeant to provide a the Wake Forest experience to the communityAnd Highlight the new study spaces in the library, and introduce the new Starbucks.Our initial goal was Fundraising, but we also recognized the value such an event could have on Community Building. And we also realized a side-benefit: we had a chance to re-define for the community the library’s role on campus and Librarian role in the community, too.
Critical to achieve this mission was to form Partnerships and get Sponsorships. We had run races, but never actually RAN one…Aramark, (the campus food services), Fleet Feet, an area running store, and Campus Recreation partnered to help us pull off the race and give us tips on what needed to be done.Frank L. Blum (the contractor who had done the renovation in the library in the Summer of 2008) along with Aramark, provided sponsorships. Other sponsorships required shoe leather We learned that you can’t just ask anyone to give you money for this kind of event. There are political ramifications:Particularly on sponsorship (For instance, you can’t ask two competitors in same line, ie 2 running companies to sponsor, or Campus recreation & Golds Gym) If you look closely, you’ll see we “Oopsed” there. We also learned that fitness centers don’t like to be on the same billing as clubs that serve alcohol. Oops again.But we did build new relationships & created new opportunities through our conversations with them.New departmental relationshipsStudent Government PresidentTrust it will work
Thousands of details: Starting with Marketing: we needed to have a branding…and we needed to start to generate interest A Timing company: securing them early allowed us to focus on other things. These folks were hired in to “run” the race, make sure that all of the age category first/second/third racer winners were awarded appropriately.(And then we needed race numbers for the runners so that as they crossed the finish line their “place” could be recorded.) Campus coordination: we needed to “clear” the date on the campus calendar, arrange for parking for participants, get cooperation from campus police for traffic control Photographer to record the event Food to feed the runners/walkers Advance Registration : set up a website to allow for online registration, and also allow for those who wanted to register by mail or by dropping off a check. Prizes: more shoe leather needed as we turned over every rock to find people to give us appropriate stuff for prizes for the winners. Medical: We had to find ways to secure medical personnel should an emergency arise. Expo area on race day: We invited our contributors to come and have a presence on race day to allow them to take part in the event. (We also needed a tent, borrowed of course.) Music to provide ambiance and a party atmosphere, and a PA system to make announcementsOrganization by Wiki
MarketingLogo DesignSignage on campusFastest Greek competitionBring in student life & other organizations on campusTraining runs with the Fitness CenterUtilized Fleet Feet’s email newsletterto promote the eventFlyers mailed through local running organizationRace website
With a GPS and a pedometer we walked off the course to ensure that it truly would be a 5 K. This is when having members of the staff who had all the toys came in handy. The staff chipped in to smooth over the bumps and help with the course preparation.We hung signs to trees and spray painted arrows on the dirt to ensure that no body got left behind.
Here’s a picture of the borrowed tent, and what was our “EXPO”For our CostsCampus Police, traffic controlT-ShirtsStudent volunteers (had to pay hourly rate for them)Printing of brochures, and signageTiming companyFinish line balloonarchSome food was paid for Donations:Prizes were donated (gift certificates and framed photos)Some food was donatedHarris Teeter gave us reuseable bags for every runner…(we were trying to be green!)
First, we first found new partnersBut before we could even get traction, we needed to demonstrate that we weren’t your dad’s librarian….We spoke with multitudes of people. We gained credibility by participating in other campus events (hit the bricks just prior to our race)We had a number of people who had experience and enthusiasm with volunteering and we used them!Other expertise: Fleet Feet and Campus Recreation who gave us some great pointers.Outsourcing: The Timing Company!
VolunteersLibrary volunteers raceday (library staff and library students)Get students involved when possible (volunteers from the library, we had to pay them, but others were free!!
We had the Deacon make an appearance. We tried to make it fun for all ages!
Bottom lineWe raised $2750 in donations from other departments on WFU’s campusWe raised $3900 in cash and gift in kind donations from off campus venues and businessesWe raised $2960 from registrations.On race day we had 152 registrants:46 Wake Forest University Students participatedApproximately 28 staff from WFU The balance, 78 people, came from the community. So yeah, I’d say we managed to get the community involved and raise funds!
Lessons learned Make a choice & don’t worry about it, mistakes happen Fundraising can be troublesome, and arduous. Start early when asking for corporate donations. They frequently have targets for giving, and plan out months in advance. It is challenging to collaborate and outsource (especially when you don’t know exactly what your doing).But creating these opportunities leads to good relationships, and fumbling through it together creates bonds.Find an expert – Campus Recreation, andFleet Feet gave lots of assistance and showedup on race day! Librarians need to get out more – Image of the library and Librarians increased over timeProvost commented on Race day: “What a great community building event.” (Her daughter took first place in her age category, so that didn’t hurt.) It helped to involve students: gave the race some “traction” We involved the student government (Student council president shot the starting gun!)Greek organizations were invited, but participation was weak (Could be that early Saturday morning thing)Student EMTs provided medical coverageStudent assistants helped in numerous ways. In second year we are looking more at a division of laborFundraising handled by a committeeRace coordination by a few Race etiquitte: don’t start too early, (if you want students to run), don’t start too late (if you want community to run), check with other area races to ensure that you aren’t going to have your race conflict with another race. And find out what’s going on the day BEFORE the race on campus to ensure that all of your potential racers won’t be out partying late the night before. Registration fees – who do you charge full fare to? What role do race fees play? Compared to fund raising, the registration fees do not really make you the money. Were our registration fees too high for the quality of race we gave? (Registrants for the 5K paid $20. Registrants for the 1 Mile Fun Run paid $15.) Perhaps goals were better served with lower registration fees for students, and community members to better meet the goal of community building. Let the corporate donors bring in the money. We definitely need a better method of registration. Hand keying in registrants who mailed in registrations was for the birds. Also, we hadn’t made any accommodation for people who wanted to walk the 1 mile with kids and had to scramble to accommodate them. Focus on your population for t-shirts (we needed lots of smalls, very few XLs) Ask them at registration what size shirt they will need.
Next stepsWill we do it again? Yes. Did it serve your purposes? In our case, yes it did.We thought that having it on homecoming weekend was a good idea but student govt has already emailed us saying that presidents ball was night before and she hoped it would not hurt our attendance.
