  1. Envisioning a Library for the Phoenix Biomedical Campus Challenges and Resolutions

  2. Challenge Issue Areas • From the User POV: • Identifying and finding resources • Accessing (electronically) and physical use of resources • From Admin POV; • Staffing and administering the library • Funding the Library

  3. Accessing and Using Resources • Now • Distinct and separate user groups and therefore 3 systems (physical and electronic) of access • Ideal • Create single sign on for all state university user groups • PBCL Card access to all PBC card holders? • Possible Solutions

  4. Locating Resources • Now • Must search 3 online catalogs: UA, ASU, NAU • Ideal • Create one place to search and locate • Could use WorldCat Local? (least expensive?) • Possible Solutions

  5. Staffing the Library • Now • 3 personnel groups: UA, ASU, NAU • Ideal • One for PBC • Possible Solutions

  6. Funding and sourcing the Library • Now • 3 funding entities: UA, ASU, NAU • Presently only UA is funding the PBC Library; used primarily in person by UA students, less so ASU BMI and nursing students and faculty. • 3 library resourcing (aka collections acquisitions and development) groups: UA, ASU, NAU • Presently collections are identified and acquired by UA AHSL library faculty; DPC ASU has acquired several core UA COM texts. • Ideal • One for PBC • Possible Solutions

  7. Goal? • Full integration? • Cost sharing? Distributed?

  8. Shall we attempt this?
