In 2009, an electronic resources librarian was added to the bibliographic services department and handles much of the
day-to-day collections over sight, assists with the collections budget activities, and, represents the library on consortia
purchase negotiations and activities. These were previously handled by the AUL Collections. Thus the AUL has more
time for other activities. In 2010 ,the position was assigned “research” to the portfolio of the Associate University
Librarian Collections. The incumbent is essentially the Libraries’ associate dean for research and represents the university
libraries on university research committees, at research meetings and events, etc. She/he in turn provides leadership to
help advance the research activity of librarians and (because libraries also support research) to promote our services and
collections. In 2010, the position was assigned learning accessibility services as it was believed that the activities of this
unit are closely aligned with resource sharing. Both provide students copies of materials (title and/or format) not owned
by the library. In 2011, the two acquisition units (monograph acquisitions department and the serials and electronic
resources department) were merged into a single acquisitions department. All activities are essentially the same but are
under a single professional (non-librarian) manager. Note: The bibliographic services department reports to the AUL
Collections. The libraries digital initiatives unit resides within this unit therefore the AUL Collections has oversight of
digitization and electronic publishing activities.
