category affected. N=7
Addition of several graduate internships to provide services in the two Commons and the Research and Instructional
Services areas.
Creating teams of students who are trained to perform designated, specific services such as technology support in the
Research Commons.
In addition to librarians and archivists, as an integrated cultural facility we also employ curators and specialized staff
who support art gallery functions.
Increased technology skills were required to support patron use of media equipment.
Moved two tech-savvy staff members from non-technical department to Libraries Information Technology Services
department to manage User Technology Support Desk and provide one-on-one multimedia consultation sessions. Also,
hired additional student staff to provide assistance from the Technology Support Desk.
Several existing IT support positions (in the university) were relocated into the library to support the services offered in
our new collaborative library/IT space.
With the current remodeling project of the Science Library and the addition of several new “next gen spaces” at that
branch, the Government Documents department was combined with Library West’s Humanities &Social Sciences
collection. The head librarian was also moved to Library West and support staff positions were eliminated with the
dissolution of the department. Staff who did not retire were given the option to transfer to other positions within
the Libraries.
