LAP: Library Assessment Plan: LAU Libraries StoryCendrella Habre
The document summarizes the library assessment plan (LAP) of the Lebanese American University Libraries. It describes the 8 step assessment process undertaken by the LAP committee: 1) establishing the committee, 2) revising the library mission, 3) determining goals, 4) documenting outcomes, 5) developing key performance indicators, 6) outlining assessment methods, 7) forming ad hoc committees, and 8) collecting data. The assessment aims to improve library services and resources to support the university's mission through a continuous plan-do-check-act cycle.
This document discusses how Newcastle University Library uses patron-driven acquisition (PDA) of ebooks to better satisfy customer needs and measure satisfaction. It launched a PDA pilot in 2010 that was very popular, spending £37k in one month. Various tweaks were needed to make it sustainable. PDA now accounts for 40% of the ebook budget and 10% of print. Heaviest users see improved satisfaction scores. The library learns purchasing patterns can help identify needs and reduce spending on loans and interlibrary loans. Further analysis of PDA's impact will help the library continue innovating to keep customers satisfied.
About the Webinar
The most rapid developments in the world of e-books have taken place in the popular market for fiction and non-fiction monographs. However, with the development of new standards such as EPUB 3 that support multimedia and the improvements in reading devices, the penetration of electronic versions of trade books has advanced quite rapidly. The market for digital textbooks, however, has grown at a more modest rate for a variety of reasons. The electronic textbook marketplace is still working through some very complex technological and business model issues.
This two-part webinar series will explore the nascent world of electronic textbooks and how publishers, students, and librarians are dealing with these new products.
Just as open access has revolutionized the world of journal literature, so too is it increasingly being advocated in the e-textbook world. Part 2 of E-books for Education will focus on the efforts to make textbooks electronically available under free open copyright licenses as part of the broader open educational resources movement.

The document discusses ROI (return on investment) as it relates to academic libraries. It provides definitions of ROI and explains why it has become important for libraries to demonstrate ROI given budget constraints and demands for evidence of libraries' impact. The document summarizes several studies that have attempted to calculate ROI for libraries in various ways and contexts. It also describes an ROI calculation conducted for the Lebanese American University libraries based on book checkouts, reference transactions, and equipment loans. The conclusion notes challenges in library ROI methodologies and calls for libraries to also focus on new roles in meeting user needs in the digital information world.
Forsyth Library provided public and technical services over the summer of 2011-2012. Public services included interactions with over 476 virtual students and processing over 10,000 interlibrary loan transactions. Technical services involved acquiring and cataloging new materials, migrating to a new library system, and conducting an inventory that located 32,000 of 40,000 missing volumes. Forsyth Library also began implementing a new discovery system and authority control workflows while continuing to provide student and faculty support.
Presented by Chuck Hughes and Megan Lowe, University of Louisiana at Monroe
Word has spread around the state about ULM's conversion to a primary digital library model. In pursuit of that project, the Library is undertaking an aggressive weed: the collection is being reduced by half. This presentation will describe the deselection project, its intentions, faculty involvement, adjustments made for faculty involvement, associated challenges with the project, lessons learned from those challenges, and how we plan to move forward in the next year - the second year of a two-year project. It will make recommendations/identify best practices for similar deselection and/or digital projects in the future.
The document discusses the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) library's efforts to repurpose space by weeding print collections and shifting to electronic resources. It describes projects to de-duplicate journals, cancel subscriptions during state budget cuts, and weed journals and books to increase user space by 50%. The library coordinated with faculty and staff on the projects. By removing unnecessary print materials, the library was able to redirect funds and reclaim space for student learning needs like individual and group study areas.
Saint Xavier University improved its electronic resources without additional funding through holistic budgeting. This involved breaking down barriers between traditional library budgets, allocating funds as a whole based on each academic unit's faculty size. They consolidated funds into single pools per unit, avoided duplicating resources across formats, and reallocated expenditures to prioritize up-to-date online resources and databases over print materials. This holistic approach transformed budgeting and collection development processes to better support the university's curriculum in a more transparent and cost-effective manner.
Great Expectations - Transforming Frontline Services

"Gathering Meaningful Statistics: Use of KnowAll Enquire in Maynooth University Library"
The document outlines the new Taylor Family Digital Library at the University of Calgary, including an overview of the facility, key partnerships and services, and a discussion of next steps to further develop the library as a center for research, collaboration, and community engagement through innovative technologies and spaces. Featured elements include new classrooms, a digital media commons, mobile services, collaborative work areas, and relationships with campus partners like the Student Success Centre and Alumni Services.
Newcastle University initially took a light touch approach to open access advocacy through web pages and minimal staffing. The Finch Report and RCUK policy changes in 2012-2013 led to increased challenges, with senior academics unhappy about recommendations and uncertain about gold and green open access. A new advocacy campaign targeted faculty committees to explain policies and address concerns. This established the library as a trusted partner. While a tri-faculty funding process was difficult, advocacy built support for a unified university fund. Current efforts focus on strategic briefings and monitoring, with successes in increasing green deposits after sessions. Ongoing work aims to build capacity and address compliance.
Open Access Advocacy - Joining the Dots (session 4c)Rob Johnson
Newcastle University initially took a light touch approach to open access advocacy through web pages and minimal staffing. The Finch Report and RCUK policy changes in 2012-2013 required a new advocacy campaign. This involved explaining open access policies, defining green and gold routes, and addressing faculty concerns about costs and licensing. A steering group was formed and the library hired advocacy staff. Initial phases achieved library recognition as a trusted resource and a unified university fund. Current advocacy includes briefings, reporting, and compliance monitoring. Successes include more receptive faculties and increased green deposits, though building capacity remains a challenge.
Undergraduate Use and Expectations of CU Boulder LibrariesMatthew Hamilton
This was a project for my LI811 class, we conducted an intensive community assessment of the undergraduate population at the University of Colorado at Boulder. We used focus groups, surveys, existing data, and observational study to gather a comprehensive picture of undergraduate library usage and needs.
The document outlines a case made by Bill Myers to university administrators to construct a high-density remote storage facility for low-use library materials at the University of Kansas Libraries. It describes threats of limited shelving capacity and space for users. It provides data showing collection and user space needs exceed capacity. The proposal recommends transforming library spaces to focus on student needs, relieve crowded shelves, and provide affordable remote storage for less frequently used materials. Financial information and specifications for the proposed Building and Remote Access Depository (BARD) are presented, with the goal of preserving materials and better serving students.
The document discusses how university libraries are changing to meet student needs in light of rising tuition fees. It reports results from a survey of 23 UK university libraries. Most libraries purchased new information resources, deployed new content delivery strategies like patron-driven acquisition of e-books, and introduced service improvements like extended hours. The majority indicated the new fees regime was partly responsible for these changes by increasing focus on student experience. Case studies highlight specific initiatives at the Universities of Durham, Newcastle, and York to purchase more materials, expand spaces and services, and gather impact metrics.
The Kelvin Smith Library at Case Western Reserve University implemented several technological changes to transform its service model. It replaced the physical reference desk with a "service desk" and implemented Summon as the main search tool across the library website and LibGuides. It also redesigned the entire website to prominently feature Summon. The library uses a "balanced scorecard" to publicly track metrics like the percentage of searches done in Summon. Other changes include assigning all students a "personal librarian," creating collaboration spaces, and planning tools like a CRM system and instruction videos. The goal is to meet users where they are and build relationships through new services and roles.

19. Why are we buying fewer books?
• Shift towards digital resources (ebooks, ejournals, databases)
• Through “big deal” packages, library patrons have access to
more journals than we ever had in print (currently110,287
ejournals. Centralized CO subsidies have increased access to
ejourals
• “Serials Crisis” – cost of library ejournal packages have been
increasing faster than the rate of inflation
• Flat library budgets lead to decreased buying power for
monographs if we want to maintain access to ejournals.
21. Why are patrons checking out fewer
of our books?
• Shift towards digital resources (ebooks, ejournals, databases)
• Use of Electronic Resources has increased drastically in recent
years (data in another slide)
• “Chicken or the egg” question – are we buying fewer books
because students and faculty don’t want them any more or is
circulation down because we don’t have as many new and
cutting edge titles in the collection? Both? Something else?
25. Why are there so many students in
the library?
• Friendly, accessible service – recent customer surveys (2009 &
2013) indicate high levels of satisfaction with library employees
and services
• Only general computer lab on campus – provides access to the
Internet, printing, software and hardware support
• Few students live on campus – they need a place for group and
individual study
• Open longer hours than other places on campus
• Student Center for Academic Achievement
• Starbucks (not in library, but close)
26. Virtual Visits to the Library 2012/2013
• Searches in the Library Databases: 2,100,298
• Visits to the Library Web Site: 742,944
• Full Text Downloads of Library Articles: 797,633
• Full Text Downloads per FTES: 62
• Circulation per FTES: 6

28. Library Strategic Directions
• Library as Physical Place
• The Digital Library
• Library Collections
• Information Literacy
• Communication (Internal and External)
29. Library as Place
• New roof, new furniture, more
computers, electric outlets
• Increase the number of group study
rooms
• Develop areas close to the new west
window and the East entrance to the
library
• Consolidate book collections

30. 3 Phase Plan
• Phase One: A Collaborative Study Lounge – phase one of the plan can
be accomplished immediately without significant de-selection or
shifting of the library collections. It focuses on creating a new study
lounge on the Lower Mall of the library and takes advantage of the
new natural light in the building to brighten up the lobbies on both
floors of the library.
• Phase Two: A New Roof – maintenance on the library roof has been
deferred for several years. It is essential that the roof be replaced to
protect library employees, patrons, collections, and study areas.
• Phase Three: Consolidating the Collection and Increasing Study Space
– phase three is a long term plan that will take advantage of the CSU’s
Libraries of the Future initiative to reduce the size the library’s physical
collection and develop new areas for student study. The library will
develop this phase as part of its strategic planning process.
