Storytelling project At the start of FY06, the Central Library team at Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division, Patuxent River MD was aligned with the Technical Library team at Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, China Lake CA. This is a new library organization across two commands. With the combination of information resources, services, and expertise, the teams are creating a centralized NAVAIR Technical Library to collect, organize, and disseminate information applicable to the needs of Naval Aviation. BRAC will also add approximately 2,500 customers at China Lake.
By incorporating Lean Six Sigma principles, the alignment seeks better efficiencies, prioritization of work, and focus on the right work. Efforts are underway to streamline the access and maintenance of archival documents, broaden access to research information across multiple sites, and strengthen delivery of technical information to the Fleet. The NAVAIR Technical Library has a staff of approximately 22 personnel (5 librarians with MLS degrees, technical information specialists, library technicians, assistant editors, and contractors).
As the new library organization comes together, changes always leave some regrets. The general collection at Patuxent River will be moved to another base library. Information services for military family members and retired military personnel will be decreased. Finally, Sandy Bradley, who has been a very active and dedicated member of the Navy library community through the years, has moved into another position at China Lake. We are all very grateful to Sandy and the China Lake Technical Library team for their professionalism and outstanding contributions to the success of 2005 Military Librarians Workshop.
