Library Services cover more than circulating books and providing a space to study. As

Phil Bradley (Information Specialist and “UK Search Guru”) once said:

“Librarians are there: To help, aid, assist. To teach, collate, enthuse. To catalogue,

index, organize. To find, discover, promote, display. To interest, intrigue, amuse

and amaze. To instill wonder. To help children, adults, old people, the underprivi-

leged, the rich, the poor, those with voices and those without. To protect resources,

to archive them, to store them, to save them for the future. To provide differing

viewpoints, to engender thought, conversation, research, fun. To provide the best

answer possible, to match the answer to the enquirer, to provide just enough infor-

mation without overwhelming the user, but enough to always help. To better a local

community, a company, a school, a college, an organization, a country, the world.”

YOUR Library takes these roles very seriously, and as an academic institution, we also

measure our progress in providing these services.

Herewith, some numbers.

First, the traditional services: hours, circulation, collection. In Academic Year 2016,

YOUR Library was open for business for 2653 hours (57 hours a week during the regular

terms). In Fiscal Year 2016 (July 2015-June 2016), YOU, our patrons, checked out 1483

items. 17% of those were Interlibrary Loan titles, which

is how YOUR library supplements its collection of 5600

items. Another 26% were Course Reserve titles, which

is how your instructors improve textbook availability.

And, because YOUR college library can be utilized by

anyone, 80 of those titles were checked out by commu-

nity patrons.

But what about those other services the Library pro-

vides? In our work to “provide the best answer possi-

ble,” in Spring, 2016, Library staff answered an average

of 17 questions a day. Not surprisingly, 18% of those

questions center on printing and copying: a lot of papers

are written in our computer lab, and a lot of research is

printed up as well.

However, in many ways our most important service is to

teach and enthuse. This finds its expression most often in

the Information Literacy classes. The goal of these classes

is to provide students with the skills to effectively conduct

research, and then evaluate, document and use that re-

search. Instructors in a wide variety of disciplines utilize

our expertise, although the UNIV 101 and English classes

are the heaviest users. In Spring, 2016, the Library taught

15 Information literacy classes to 124 students who

showed a 28.63% improvement in understanding these

concepts. And, since FY2012, the Library has increased

the number of students we have reached with this im-

portant information by 65%.

So, what do these numbers do for us? They help us see where we are, with an eye to deciding where we want to be.

They tell us where our users are successful, and where they are not. In the long run, they point the way to improving

access and, through our services, fostering student success. Along the way, they permit us to continue “to interest, in-

trigue, amuse and amaze.” -K. Hauge

Since the Library is reached through CASA, with whom we have happily collaborated since our move to Pueblo Hall

East in January, 2016, it’s difficult to count how many people have used our computer lab resources. However, during

Spring Term, 2016, an average of 55 patrons a week found their way to us through the “back door.”

We reach students in other ways, too. In Fall Term,

2015, we surveyed our users and discovered that 84% of

the respondents found information they needed. The

webpage is used regularly, with top sellers being data-

bases (91%) and ILL requests (83%). 69% of respondents

use the College and Career info page, and 50% use the

Writing Toolbox. Around 75% of the respondents can

access the webpage off site, but the barriers to usage are

access to a computer or to the Internet.
