SCELC Staff Update • Tommy Keswick left SCELC at the end of 2013 • New Library Relations Manager position has been created • Anne Harris has been hired for this position • Will provide organizational lead on customer service • Will act as gateway to triage all customer service inquiries, either responding directly or redirecting to appropriate staff • Will provide marketing and support for SCELC member benefits • Will help develop methods to measure customer satisfaction
SCELC Initiatives Update • SCELC Project Initiatives Fund (SPIF) • Documentation to be posted • Resource Sharing Initiatives • Discovery Research Project
Discovery Research Project 11 • Two of the three principal researchers are from SCELC (Jason Price and John McDonald, USC) and the third is from a SCELC affiliate, Michael Levine-Clark • The next phase of the study will includes a survey of discovery and its impact among SCELC libraries • SCELC funding of this project provides SCELC branding in a new area: Resarch • It also dovetails nicely with our Research Workshop Day and Research Day events, demonstrating the power of librarians when they are able to do high-level, professional research • This is a real-world demonstration of the kind of work SCELC is now promoting through the IMLS grant project at LMU (where SCELC was part of the grant).
Shared Print Project • I now present Karen Schneider, Chair of the SCELC Resoruce Sharing Committee • Karen will summarize our resource sharing initiatives • Bob Kieft, who has ably steered our Shared Print feasibility study, will then present a detailed summary of this exciting new project
