Facilities (source: Library Faculty, dean)

1) List of all facilities (Please indicate if any of these were added last year):The COD Library shares a building with the Palm Desert Public Library immediately outside the Alumni Ring Road, on the Southwest corner of campus. There are five offices located in the Administrative Wing occupied by the library director, three full-time librarians, and the distance education and instructional design coordinator.

Library Specialists, with help from student assistants, carry out the work of receiving, check-in and processing/cataloging in the Technical Services Area. There is a small break room within the Technical


Services area used by all library personnel.

The public area of the Palm Desert campus library has seating for 119 library users, including large tables and carrels. In addition, there are 56 computer workstations, 50 for unlimited use, 2 dedicated to the library catalog, 2 equipped for disabled students and 2 for the service desk staff. 35 computers are located in the learning center and the classroom offers wireless access. There is 1 microfilm reader/printer, 3 group study rooms accommodating 2-6 people, and a medium sized quiet study room, which can accommodate 12 people.

The College Library began operations at the COD Indio campus in late Fall term 2016. This library, temporarily located in a modular unit on-site, provides 7 computer workstations for unlimited use, 1 computer workstation equipped for disabled students and soft seating for 8. There is a separate workspace for a library staff member.

2) Assessment of adequacy of current facilities: Demand for library services continues to increase; consequently, the library is no longer adequate to accommodate the number of students and other library users. Increasingly, there are times, particularly around midterms and finals, when there are few if any places to study. There is an acute shortage of group study rooms, again particularly around heavy exam times. Students would benefit from having a greater number of these spaces where they could work collaboratively.

Two new library and learning resources facility are in the planning stages. The first is an expansion of the temporary library at the Indio campus, and the second is a temporary library structure at the Palm Springs campus. These facilities would bring together library, academic skills, tutoring services, and potentially other academic services for students (e.g. computing) and faculty (e.g. course design, faculty development in one location.

The Indio campus expansion project for the provides for an enlarged library, with librarians/reference service and service desk staff, ample study space, computing and space for print collections.

The new Palm Springs campus features a temporary library located inside the TASC lab, which provides access to textbooks in course reserves, computing with access to online library content, as well as reference and instruction services (by appointment), an on-site library specialist and virtual reference service, 24/7.

Equipment and Supplies (source: Library Faculty & Director)

9 PCs are in use by library staff, one in each of the three ft librarian offices, one each for 3 classified staff members, 1 for use by the adjunct librarians, and two on the Reference Desk. 1 high-volume printer behind the Reference Desk for student print jobs and for the use of the library staff seated at the Reference Desk.1 color printer in Technical Services Office and 1 color printer in the Administrative Wing. 4 PCs are currently in use in the other offices; 1 each for the Director, the Distance Education and Instructional Design Coordinator, the Administrative Assistant and Tech Services.19 PCs in the public service area of the library.35 PCs in the Alumni Computer Lab.2 older coin/currency/card operated photocopiers for student use.1 large photocopier/scanner in Administrative wing for staff use.1 coin-operated microfilm reader/printer.


2 fully equipped adaptive workstations for students with an accommodation.

Summary- Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty)

Staffing for Program/Service: A staff of two, part-time Library Specialists are responsible for the Indio temporary library for 51.5 open hours per week.

Beginning fall 2017, the adjunct librarians were accorded additional hours to provide reference service to the Indio temporary library for 23 hours per week, concurrent to regular open hours.

In August of 2017, the Libraries hired a new full time reference librarian, Hye Chin “Jin” An-Dunning and replaced an adjunct librarian who had resigned, in addition to hiring another adjunct librarian. Hye Chin will provide reference and instruction for the Palm Desert and Indio Libraries. One new adjunct is assigned to Palm Desert while the other is at Indio.

In keeping with Educational Master Plan goals 1 and 6, the libraries became the new home for the Distance Education / Instructional Design Program, and a dedicated ft Coordinator. The DE Coordinator resigned in May 2018 and a new Distance Education & Instructional Design Coordinator began his duties in August 2018. An instruction support specialist for Distance Education began reporting to the Director of Library & Learning Resources in June 2018. See the Distance Education PRU for detailed information.

Funding/Budget: There was little change in the library’s budget during the 2017-18 fiscal year.

Summary - Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty/Dir/Coord/Dean)

During the 2017-18 academic year, the College Libraries offered 2 sections of the LIS-001 course, one section for fall and one section for spring semester. The two LIS 001 courses generated 5.3 FTEs. Taught by one staff librarian, LIS 001 is an introduction to information literacy. Students learn to develop a research topic and find, evaluate and incorporate a variety of information types in assigned coursework.Fall: 17 enrolled, 13 completed -- Spring: 20 enrolled, 19 completedRate of success: Fall - 54%, Spring - 100%.

students12. Continued to discover, disseminate and promote the use of OER (Open Educational

Resources, a project that was begun in 2017) as per Educational Master Plan goals 1.1, 5.2 and 6.4


Summary - Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty/Dir./Coordinator/Dean)

The College Library launched a renewed outreach effort in the 2016-17 school year, with an emphasis on academic information literacy instruction. The staff monitored and recorded detailed library statistics for the 2016-17 school year, with a newly acquired data collection tool (LibInsight, by SpringShare). The data indicated a number of interesting trends in student research and study habits, which were cross-referenced with library information literacy instruction data. As faculty awareness improves, the number of requests for information literacy instruction sessions has grown. In addition to capturing service and reference desk data, LibInsight allows us to cross-reference these activities and measure the impact of instruction on student behaviors.

Table 1.Analyzing all question types, data show that the number of questions asked at the reference and service desks drops as more students attend Academic Information Literacy Instruction sessions. This trend speaks to an understanding of the library’s resources at all levels.

Looking at data by school, (Table 2) the same trend emerges; with more Information Literacy Instruction sessions offered in classes in a given area of study, students in those areas on campus also asked fewer questions.

Table 2.

Again, what becomes clear is that the School of Applied Sciences, for instance, benefits from Academic Information Literacy Instruction. Data show that a greater number of sessions offered results in fewer questions from those subject areas at the Library service points.

Table 3.

The last table demonstrates the impact of


academic information literacy instruction on the amount of time it takes to answer student research questions. During months when more faculty take advantage of instruction, the time spent on questions is considerably less, mostly under 5 minutes. During the months when faculty do not ask for academic information literacy instruction, the amount of time devoted to questions increases dramatically, often 30 minutes or longer.

In each example, the result is roughly the same: academic information literacy instruction affects student ability to work intelligently and independently on assigned course work.

For 2018-19, the First Year Experience program will feature the College Library during week five in the new one-class model. The library is working to devise a process / processes for integrating Academic Information Literacy Instruction with that model.

With continued outreach, the library census is continues to grow. A stronger web presence combined with greater visibility in more classrooms in both Palm Desert and Indio has resulted in a stronger library culture on campus. The COD Libraries have offered course textbooks for in-house use since 2000. This, combined with on-site computer labs helps to make the libraries a destination for CODs growing enrollment. A combined 61 workstations in the libraries are in use constantly. Library personnel are servicing all student needs directly from the Service Desk.

In keeping with Educational Master Plan goal 6.3, a renewed effort is underway to make better use of LibWizard, another SpringShare product that will allow librarians to assess information literacy instruction in course-related sessions, in the moment, and with student participation. LibWizard also provides flexible functionality to create tutorials (for accessing databases, for learning citation formats, etc.). Used in conjunction, these web-based tools satisfy an accreditation standard for evaluating student-learning outcomes in the library.

The College was invited to join the Open Education Initiative Course Exchange in the spring of 2018. Currently, constituent groups, including the College Library, are engaged in developing a policy for implementing a procedure for offering courses, as per Educational Master Plan goal 1.1


CHALLENGES/OBJECTIVES/GOALS

Program/Service Challenges: (source: Faculty/Dir/Coord/Dean - from EOY)

Personnel. The Library continues to recruit for additional adjunct librarians to provide service at the Desert Hot Springs and Mecca Thermal campuses. The shortage of library staff has created difficulties in scheduling public service desk hours, teaching, assigning committee work, and projects.Library Service to Education Centers. Our follow-up to the ACCJC’s “Recommendation 3” was that we would extend library services to our remote sites and online. The College stated that it would provide physical facilities to the Indio facility and the Palm Springs facility, and this has been accomplished in part (PSTC does not yet have a full library presence). In addition, we have established course reserve collections at the TASC Labs in Mecca (MTC) and Desert Hot Springs (DHS). Essentially, the libraries do not yet have a presence at MTC and DHS.Equipment/Facilities. The amount of students entering and using the Library has increased dramatically. The group study rooms are now more fully in use. There are critical times, notably during midterm and final exams, when many students are unable to access a study room.The CCC has provided a common Integrated Library System The College Libraries will migrate to the new system in fall 2019. This change will necessitate cancelling circulation services currently provided by Riverside County and retraining the library staff and moving the library catalog to the new system. The cost savings generated by the move will help to defray the cost of the necessary circulation staff.

Program/Service Objectives/Goals for next year (source: Faculty/Dir/Coord/Dean - from EOY)

1. Formally offer Canvas support to students via the Libraries’ Services Desks2. Continue development of a proactive liaison program to all academic departments 3. Assess how the College Library supported the Academic Information Literacy unit in the new

COLL 001 course and make any necessary adjustments in the instruction program4. Reimagine and augment the Libraries’ web presence to be both more accessible and provide

better research support to DE students5. Assess the Libraries’ social media presence and make changes as indicated6. Standardize library instruction assessment across disciplines7. Continue leading OER initiatives at COD8. Establish a courier service to accommodate campus libraries, e.g.: to move text books for

branch campus course reserves and to provide interlibrary loan for circulating collections

The new library at the Palm Springs campus will be opening without any resources. We need to purchase an entire basic online reference collection to support our students at all branches, and phase out the print reference collection everywhere possible (which is outdated and expensive to maintain). The collection will be comprised of materials such as dictionaries, encyclopedia, handbooks, manuals and other reference tools that will support curriculum. In particular, the Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL). The new library at the Palm Springs campus opened without any Library resources. The Learning Resource Center requires a print/online collection to support the major curricular areas at this branch. Examples include cookbooks (culinary), trade publications (hospitality, culinary, etc.), and circulating/electronic medical reference books (health sciences).Where appropriate, the Library will focus on the major curricular areas offered at each branch campus.

2. E-book funding – Palm Desert, Indio, Palm Springs, Thermal, DHS campuses. – approx. $25,000 ($5,000 x 5 campus branches)Reason: The e-book collection was deaccessioned and replaced with a new patron driven acquisition model. Moving forward, it is imperative that we strive to maintain a well-rounded and up to date collection. In order to remain in step with growing online programming, and the general demand for online resources, the libraries will continue to engage with students and faculty in the selection of new materials and improve e-book holdings.
