Hello, This year, even as we celebrated our history with the events and programs of the 250th anniversary of Rutgers University, Rutgers University Libraries looked to the future, embarking on a remarkable process of transformation with purpose, much of detailed in this annual report. Our transformations span the physical, digital, and everything between, but they all share a single goal: to find and make available to the Rutgers community the tools, services, and spaces that our students and faculty need to succeed. We updated our physical spaces and extended our hours of operation to ensure that our libraries continue to provide the technology, security, and access that our students have come to expect. We also rapidly expanded our collections—particularly in the area of electronic materials—to address gaps in our disciplinary support and content. And we reorganized our central administration, creating a Shared User Services Department to make certain that the specific needs of our user communities—undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and faculty—are addressed. So, what is next? More change of course. This coming year, we will strengthen our information control—improving the discovery and delivery of our collections via our website—and continue to optimize our collections and undergraduate student support. All of this would not be possible without the stellar faculty and staff of the Libraries and the support we receive from the university and the departments with which we work. So I hope you will join me in saying, “Thank you,” for the above and beyond efforts this year. I hope you enjoy our annual report and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions about the Libraries.

Giving Them What They Want

This year, the New Brunswick libraries focused on our undergraduate students and providing them with what they need to succeed—overnight hours, access to collaborative work spaces, and the best collections and materials for their schoolwork.

For the fall semester, we expanded our hours to 24/5 at Kilmer and Alexander Libraries with our Knight Owls program. We also updated our group study room reservation system so it is simple to find a space that works for collaborative study or assignments. Our new online maps make it easier than ever before to navigate our collections.
