Off-site Storage Current Issues and Trends June L. DeWeese University of Missouri
Duplication and weeding in cooperatively owned facilities • Last copy ownership and accreditation issues • Lost or damaged items • Return of items to home campus • Weeding after depositing
Planning for the end of space in current facility • All facilities run out of space sometime • Build or lease • Joining a regional facility
Handling a large influx of material on a short deadline • Closing of a branch library • Renovation of a library
Institutional Repositories • Allies or competitors?
Overarching issues that always are with us… • Safety • Turnaround time • Fill Rate • Budgets • Staffing • Equipment and replacement of obsolete Photos and assistance by James Keyzer-Andre, Manager, UM Libraries Depository.
Blending Cultures at a Merged Service Desk Amy Boucher, Emory University
Reference librarians off the desk • Decreased/flat numbers = consolidation • One stop shopping • Budget savings It’s a trend…..
Services on different floors • Reference on entrance floor, not visible from entrance • Circulation one floor up, off the beaten path • Services flat/dropping • Customer-driven and innovative culture • Strong administrative support …that we joined in on
Circulation(3rd floor): checkouts, laptop loans, reserves, book drops, learning commons help, stacks assistance, directional • Reference(2nd): information, directional, stacks assistance • Learning commons (2nd): printer and bizhub help, other public desktop support The players
To the Merged Desk Moved to Other Areas • Circulation • Reference • Learning Commons • Laptop loans • Moved to Music Media • Reserves • Moved to Music Media Library • Stacks Team • Now separate from circ team Coming Together: Who was involved…and who was not
Timeline of less than 1 year (Oct 2009 – Aug 2010) • Focus on design & becoming operational, less on team building Full speed ahead…
Former Circulation/Reserves Desk FORMER CIRCULATION DESK
The Library Service Desk Library Service Desk
Project team • Info Forums • Task forces • Simulation planning • Core competencies/training • Workflow • Desk simulations Collaboration
Services Division • Access Services • Library Service Desk • Stacks • ILL • Branch Libraries & Reserves • Collection Develop. • Data and GIS Services • Learning Commons • Reference / Instruction • Humanities • Area Studies • Sciences • Social Sciences A Wide Range of Teams
Circulation Reference • Centralized management of schedule • 1/13 student staff ratio • High turnover • Documented, organized training • Communication: email, learnlink • Community managed schedule • Shared responsibility • Very low turnover • Mentored training, minimal docs • Communication: email, blog A range of approaches
Integrated Separate • Services • Circulation – all staff trained in basics • Scanner/printer help • Directional/stacks asst. • Tasks • Handouts, signs • Admin • Core staff on separate teams • Tasks • Scheduling • Supply ordering • Services • Advanced circulation • Advanced learning commons • In-depth reference The wait and see approach
Focus on consistent, regular service through transition • Regular team meeting – members from Service Desk, Reference/Instruction, Learning Commons Teams • Work with Library HR on Team Building– Storming, Norming, Performing • Sharing visions, goals • New team leader in Nov Coming together
Challenge of consistent communication • One-way “cross-training” – leads to uneven skills • Focus on the desk – collective vs centralized • Differing expectations for different staff • Adjustment to new team, new space, new manager, large desk community (40-50) …and apart
Possible integrations: scheduling, training • Reference cross-training, new ILS training • Patron intelligence/data (Desk Tracker, comment cards) • Staffing model – new model for new desk –new position • Existing staffing model: 1 reference, 1 circ supervisor, 1-2 students Next steps…
Recognition that this is an ongoing process • Working with Emory Faculty/Staff Assistance Program • Off-campus retreat • Lunch & a party! Team building goes on
