ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT PROGRAM REVIEW WORKSHEET

Administrative Unit: Library/Learning Resources

Prepared by: Bernard Fradkin, Dean, Technology and Learning Resources

Date: September 28, 2008

I. The Unit Overview

The Unit Overview should reflect the consensus of the staff within the unit. It is meant to provide a broad understanding of the unit, current trends related to the unit’s mission, and how the unit serves to meet the overall mission or goals of the Riverside Community College District and its campuses.

1. What is the mission of your unit?

The purpose of the RCCD Library and Learning Resource Center (LLRC) is to support and complement the college mission by providing a wide range of lower division, undergraduate resource materials; basic information literacy; computer commons; and encouragement. The LLRC strives for electronic instructional innovation in an effort to meet the demands of a computer-driven work place. While the main goal is to support the curriculum, the library and learning resources staff may serve as a vital link for the informational and educational needs of the overall college community.

2. Identify or outline how your unit serves the mission of the institution (district or college). Please limit to a single paragraph.

Library/Learning Resources supports the mission of the college by providing comprehensive student services and instructional materials, which empower and support a diverse community of learners. The library also fosters “information and communication skills” through instruction in the form of reference assistance, instructor-scheduled library instruction sessions, and the library’s LIB-1: Information Competency course. The IMC provides direct support to the classroom for all levels of instructional media. The scope of support ranges from basic instructional media to advanced high-tech applications, such as streaming media, course management using media, and graphic enhancement opportunities. The objective of the IMC is to support faculty at various levels and to ensure that the media equipment in the classroom is functional at all times. In addition, the unit provides KRCC 24/7 cable access as well as connectivity to the state communications backbone system.

3. Provide the official Organizational Chart of your unit and an ideal chart which includes all levels of services and positions. If necessary, provide very brief narrative descriptions by numbering the chart and including a numbered list with clarifications on a subsequent page.

The current organization chart for the Library/Learning Resources Department is illustrated on the following page.

technology; Repairs, maintains and services all instructional media equipment. Satellite teleconferences for staff development Broadcast/cable television reception Support accreditation process Assist faculty in development of course material Store, serve and deliver downstream media products.

5. In your 2007 report your unit proposed an assessment plan. Please provide a report on your findings as an appendix to this document. Please try to organize your report so that it answers the following: 1) What did you do? 2) What were the results? 3) What do you plan to change as a result of your assessment? Include any survey results, etc.

You may wish to refer to the “Self – Assessment/IE Evaluation Form for Administrative Units” at the end of these instructions in preparing your analysis.

Your report appendix will be submitted to the District Assessment Committee for review.

6. In order to progress in the assessment of the effectiveness of your unit what types of data will you collect during the next year (they may be the same as the prior year)?

a. Make a list. See Appendix A for examples of assessment methods. Mention only data that you sincerely believe will help you improve the effectiveness of your unit. In 2009 you will be asked to report on your data collection efforts and the ways in which these assessments have informed improvements in your unit.

The Library uses Innovative Interface to gather “business information” on use of the catalog, resources checked out, student access, unfound title searches as well as dozens of other management and operational statistics. This information is utilized in the daily planning and decision making for the library. Also, daily checks on library access is counted at the front entrance gate. This information is utilized to determine the hours of operation and the best utilization practices. Recently the additional extended hours on Sunday were tracked and found to be better used than traditional Saturday open hours.

Nominal feedback and recommendations from faculty and students are also utilized in assessing services and practices. We also use techniques like “mystery shopping” to determine the reality of services based on actual usage rather than theory or nominal sets. The library has a traditional suggestion box as well as an electronic survey that assists in continuous monitoring and improvement of practice.

Printer, fax and copy system information is gathered to determine additional usage data for planning and decision making. The Commons help desk also collects information on questions asked, timing, and use of day statistics that help decide which computers should be replaced first and other information that becomes useful for security purposes.

Every A/V request submitted to the IMC identifies media resources used by faculty which includes: name of the faculty member, resources requested including media equipment and library resource materials. Data is collected from these documents to prepare various reports. Information gathered is used to schedule, manage, deploy and recommend additions to the inventory in support of instructional requirements. Information is also gathered through professional workshops for staff to maintain currency of the technology and also comply with state and federal regulations (use of wireless microphones and frequency changes is an example)

b. If you are planning to use a customer service survey you may wish to model yours after the example in Appendix B. Please attach your proposed survey as an appendix to your report.

See attached surveys.

7. Collaboration with Students and/or Other Units: A progress reporta. What are the unit’s strengths and weaknesses in the area of outreach and

collaboration? Did your unit improve since last year?

IMC Strengths Direct support to learning environment; Contact with faculty; Employ student workers within the department, which allows the IMC to get

feedback from student assistants related to our media support in the classrooms and its effectiveness from a student’s perspective.

IMC Weaknesses Need to increase awareness of services to faculty; Continue to develop a working relationship with Faculty Innovation Center

staff;The IMC is always striving to improve and accommodate a growing campus. The campus has rapidly expanded to many off-campus locations (i.e., Spruce Street District Office, Culinary Academy, Stokoe, Rubidoux Annex and March), and the IMC is working hard to support the new centers given the IMC’s existing resources.

Library Strengths Continued development of E-resources collection Increased use of Information Commons Joined college and library wireless systems Events planning Displays Faculty support and presence in the library Increase in Library 1 in traditional and online versions Continued support and development of the nursing collection Liaison program –assigning library faculty to each division Openness to the college community extending the welcome mat Development of web pages and especially catalog pages Establishment of the CNN theatre Library staff development teleconferences

Library Weaknesses (OPPORTUNITIES) Shortage of study rooms to meet individual group study needs and

the requirements of tutoring and two supplemental instruction programs.

Lack of stable funding for e-resources/periodicals Not enough librarian support to meet the growing demand for

college wide collaborative projects and committee participation. Lack of space for archives Environmental control is reported to be an issue related to

maintenance of heat and cold in areas at key times in the seasons.

8


Small library book budget for a college of 22,000 students Lack of equitable sharing of costs related to services- innovative

interface maintenance cost, cataloging, processing, acquisitions, electronic resources and equipment training-installation- and maintenance

Lack of ability to retain and expend revenues- book replacement, copying, service support, memberships and other services.

Limited travel funds for staff development Time to plan and develop short and long range needs.

Did the library improve since last year? (this is a first year plan)

Library liaisons were established (faculty/administration) LLSS Committee ( faculty/staff) Increased librarian participation with learning communities

(both faculty/students) Seasonal library banners over breezeway (all) Food and Beverage area in the library (all) Closed-captioned CNN broadcasts on the main floor (all) Combined campus/library wireless application form and

access(all) (some failure here associated with virus protection requirement which is new for students)

Seasonal, interactive library displays (all) Public FAX machine Increased student door count for the first two weeks of class Extended hours on Sunday the last two weeks of the semester

was a success Start of the Okuba collection archive process Development plans for the college archives Adding a popular reading collection Internal staff development teleconferences shared with

community Support for art exhibits and plans for collaborative efforts Implementation of joint ventures for events- political science

department and international relations Review of Fulbright opportunities

b. How effectively does information flow from and to this unit to other units on campus? Identify any areas where communication could be improved. Were improvements made since last year?

The Library and IMC are always seeking timely and better communication and networking opportunities. College wide general emails are carefully considered and very selectively used. Communication to small learning groups and disciplines is sought. This has been supported through the liaison process in the library. Issues related to IMC and the library have been brought before the

9


strategic planning sub group for student services and learning resources in a structured deliberative way for open collaboration and guidance.

The IMC has direct communications with the Campus Dean of Instruction and the Vice President of Academic Affairs, and has open communication with deans of many units. As a campus, communication can be improved in many ways: Open dialog with departments as it relates to instructional technology should be considered an agenda item for monthly department meetings. The IMC should improve on working directly with department to improve this area. The unit has several members on the Strategic Planning Subcommittees including the Library and Learning Support Services and Technology Resources and Finance.

c. What changes in the area of outreach and collaboration are needed to make this unit more effective in its mission? Were changes made since last year and were they effective?

The Library needs to further develop the liaison program and formulate the linkages that make the librarians part of the learning community for each discipline.

District collaboration needs to be fostered through a district wide collaboration working group for library and IMC resources.

The IMC needs to work more closely with Department Chairs and Deans to help assess their instructional media needs. Greater publicity is needed to get the word out about IMC resources and services.

Participation of the Dean on Cabinet, Student Services and Learning Resources Subcommittee and Strategic Planning Committee has better represented the role of the library as a player in campus innovation and development.

Changes since last year are hard to determine since there is no baseline data.

d. In the final analysis how does your unit support student learning and the overall satisfaction of students and employees with the college/district? Are you providing the needed and desired services?

The Library provides core services plus. As a learning unit the library is open more hours than any other service on campus - Assisting faculty, students, and responding to community requests and to requirements on a short term and long term basis is a strength we bring to the academy. We have several calls from other district colleges for support and have responded. Also, we have outreach through various organizations like the Council on Global Affairs to provide support for the College through these outreach efforts.

10


The constant need to maintain electronic resources and growth in the print collection coverage has been a continuing challenge. There is a concerted effort to reach faculty with learner centered assignments and resources through the librarian liaison process. There has been general support and acceptance for the initiative among the librarian faculty and give them great credit for their interest and continued pursuit of this effort. As a core learning unit we are open to continuous evaluation, benchmarking with other institutions and in collaboration within and with other institutions in support of a key goal- student success.

The IMC supports student learning by ensuring that all instructional media equipment that is used by faculty is functioning and operating flawlessly. The IMC ensures that their support staff is knowledgeable about the equipment in the classroom. The IMC also provides assistance in training the faculty and staff at their request with respect to any equipment, system, or software application that will enhance the learning experience in the classroom. Although the IMC’s focus is on direct support of academic instruction, all other functions of the campus are supported. The IMC services are available to all units with a focus on academic instruction.

II. Unit Needs Assessment

2. Does the staffing structure meet the unit’s needs?

If your answer is “no,” please consider the following in framing your answer:

a) The workload of your unit over the past two years (you may wish to provide further historical reference points, but keep them very brief). You may wish to consider the following questions in formulating your response:

o Which aspects of the work are key to the institution’s mission?o Has the staff increased, decreased or remained the same to meet those changes?o Has technology made it possible to do more work with the same staff? Or, has

technology increased your work load (adding web features which need updating for example)?

o Does the workload have significant peaks and valleys during the fiscal year? If so, describe.

o Do you anticipate the workload will increase, decrease or remain constant in the upcoming one to three years? Is this a temporary situation?

o If your workload is increasing and resources will not allow for increased staffing, how do you anticipate being able to ameliorate the negative consequences of too much work and maintain a positive atmosphere in your unit?

Library----- The Library is committed to provide additional staffing in support of the commons and in the development of a forum for issues and presentation of interest to the instructional program. This activity has started to generate additional opportunities that support the College in providing an academic events forum in conjunction with departments. This requires additional time and coordination and can be done part time at this stage of development. The commons area help desk is another area of additional support that is growing in responsibility- recently acting as a college wide student help desk to assist in getting email and on web advisor. This additional load needs to be supported.

IMC----------The IMC supports day, evening and weekend instruction (evening and weekend instruction has expanded over the last few years). There has been no staff increase to support the technology and growth of evening, weekend classes; nor has there been a staff increase to support expanding off campus locations like Rubidoux Annex, RSA and Stokoe. The use of technology in the classroom has expanded tremendously. The expansion has placed a strain on the IMC support staff and the work load impacts the IMC steadily throughout the year. In the past, there was time to maintain the equipment; however, with the addition of the inter-sessions, the increase in class offerings, and classes scheduled tightly back-to-back the IMC’s work load has been constant.

The IMC anticipates that its workload will continue to increase as the result of the following: In 2008, the IMC received a Mediasite system for online streaming of classroom

instruction; however, the IMC is not able to support the faculty demand for this service, which will increase once the service is widely publicized.

18


New academic programs have been developed, for example the ACME program, which are requesting evening videoconferencing service. During the Fall 2008 Semester alone, 11 evening sessions have requested videoconferencing. In the 10 year history of IMC videoconferencing services the IMC has never received any requests for this service during evening hours.

The IMC is unable to support evening classes at Stokie, March, and Rubidoux due to a lack in staffing. The IMC supports these areas to the best of its ability by shifting schedules, and by providing follow-up service during the day within 72 hours. We have shifted schedules to accommodate as many requests as possible but doing this is now impacting our day services. Shifting schedules and paying overtime is impacting the IMC staff’s ability to perform their day-to-day responsibilities.

b) What steps can be taken to improve your unit’s organizational efficiency within its current budget?

In the library- mission and goals need additional definition to determine what core areas of support are needed and relinquish other areas not provided for in budget consideration. Archives, events, and teaching classes are worthy but require resources from a limited body of staff. Mission creep is something that needs to be considered as we grow in outreach and accept opportunities to expand/enhance services.

The IMC’s ability to serve the college is dependent on human resources. There are currently six full-time staff members who provide 14 areas of service to the entire campus, as well as off-campus locations. The expansion of programs and evolving technology, which is sparking faculty interest, has increased the need for IMC services and training.

c) What strategies have been used to improve delivery of support services within the unit (e.g., technology, online options, etc.)?The Library has utilized several continuous improvement and summative processes to improve delivery of services. There is an online questionnaire for students as well as a traditional suggestion box. Minutes of meeting are often shared widely to all staff. Additional input is received through the liaison process allowing faculty to interact regularly with departmental faculty. In addition there is broad representation of library faculty on college-wide committees. These strategies have resulted in several service changes that dramatically improve access and services to students.

The IMC Multimedia Request Form is available online for the submission of A/V, production, service, and repair requests. 50% of LCD projectors are now monitored and controlled via the district network. IMC servers have been programmed to text message IMC technicians in the event of a problem such as overheating, reboot, or failure. The programming for KRCC, the district’s public access channel has been automated.

Cost per item Number Requested


1. Increase Book Budget (6310) – Library Reason: The book budget was cut by $50,000 in 2007, and has not been increased in the past three years even though book prices have been increasing. Since other campus units may request Library Resources via the Annual Program Review, this request is critical.

$70,000.00 1 $70,000.00

2. Increase Instructional Media Materials Budget (4351) – Library Reason: This budget is used to purchase electronic database subscriptions, and is inadequate to support the current electronic resources. Additional budget is provided by grants through VTEA and TTIP, which are not stable or reliable sources of funds. The money provided by these grants should be added to the budget over a two year period ($40,000 in 2008/2009 and $40,000 in 2009/2010).Since other campus units may request Library Resources via the Annual Program Review, this request is critical.

$40,000.00 1 $40,000.00

3. Increase Periodicals/Magazines Budget (4330) – Library Reason: The periodicals subscriptions budget needs to be increased by 10% to adjust for the industry increase in subscription costs. Since other campus units may request Library Resources via the Annual Program Review, this request is critical.

$3,834.00 1 $3,834.00

4. Increase Reference Books Budget (4230) – Library Reason: The reference book budget needs to be increased by 5% to account for the industry increase in reference book prices. Since other campus units may request Library Resources via the Annual Program Review, this request is critical.

$467.50 1 $467.50

5. Increase Software Budget (4575) – Library Reason: Currently other funds are being used to augment the software budget, which should be increased to the previous funded amount of $6,539.00

$5,564.00 1 $5,564.00

6. Increase Computer Service Supplies Budget (4570) – Library Reason: This budget currently has no funds and should be allocated $1,000.00 to pay for toner for the library printers.

$1,000.00 1 $1,000.00

7. Increase Consultants Budget (5110) – Library Reason: This budget currently has no funds and should be allocated $500.00, so the library can hire speakers for public events programming.

$500.00 1 $500.00

8. Increase Mileage Budget (5210) – Library Reason: While the mileage rate for the district has increased, the mileage budget for the library has not. Mileage should be increased by 20%.

$254.40 1 $254.40

9. Increase Other Travel Expenses Budget (5219) – Library Reason: This budget should be increased by 10% to adjust for the increase in travel costs.

$433.70 1 $433.70

10. Increase Conferences Budget (5220) – Library Reason: The library is beginning to offer teleconferences and needs to increase the budget by $600 to pay for the licensing fees.

$600.00 1 $600.00
