  1. Chabot College Library Facility Improvements WELCOME! Project Update (Marcia) Need for Out-of-Scope Items (Pedro) Review of Out-of-Scope Items (Norman) Q&A

  2. What we do: “… the Chabot College Library provides all users with a safe and welcoming environment conducive to learning, collaborating, and encouraging lifelong learning.” (Library Mission Statement) • Our Goals: • Provide reference & instruction services supporting use of information and technologies • Provide spaces where students can work collaboratively and access technologies and information (e.g., study rooms, silent study room, outdoor study area) • Provide individual, quiet spaces that are separate from collaboration spaces • Serve all divisions and programs at Chabot College

  3. How do we get there? • Smart Library Classroom (in-scope) • New Reference & Circulation Desks (in-scope) • Update Silent Study Room, 107A&B (in-scope) • Update Staff Office Space • NOT in scope: • Increase Electrical Outlets (107A&B and study carrels) • New Group Study Rooms • New Carpet Throughout • Improved Lighting (Reference & Circulation area) • New Library Furniture (chairs & tables)

  4. Need for more Library Learning Spaces: • Only 3 group study rooms and 1 small quiet study area for the entire campus (13, 484 students, Spring’13). • With the conversion of 107A&B to a silent study room, we will be losing 2/3 of group study room space. Thus, the need for additional group study rooms.

  5. Student Input (Fall 2013) From recent town hall meeting hosted by Chabot’s Associated Student Officers: • “The library should have been remodeled or a new library built before building 400 and 700.” • “The study room walls are moldy and it makes it difficult for me to breathe.” • “There is not enough study space and it is hard to work in groups on tables because of the noise level.”

  6. Student Library Usage: • 281,534 Library Visits (Oct. 2012-Oct. 2013) • 1,609 Library Visits (daily average: Aug. 19-22, 2013) • 27,050 Student Transactions @ Circulation Desks (Oct. 2012-Oct. 2013) • 2,612 Student Transactions @ Circulation Desks (Oct. 2013)

  8. 2) New Group Study Rooms

  9. 3) New Carpet

  10. 4) Improved Lighting

  12. Summary • Request for additional monies ($1 million) to cover for out-of-scope items: • Increase Electrical Outlets (107A&B and study carrels) • New Group Study Rooms • New Carpet Throughout • Improved Lighting (Reference & Circulation area) • New Library Furniture (chairs & tables)
