Bickley & Corrall (2011) E-Print
Corrected pre-print, February 2011 Accepted for Reference Services Review, 39 (2) Student perceptions of staff in the Information Commons: a survey at the University of Sheffield Rachel Bickley Library Services, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK Sheila Corrall Information School, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK Abstract Purpose – Technology has transformed teaching and learning environments in tertiary education, introducing new collaborative library spaces and developing the roles and skills of library staff. Academic libraries need continually to re-examine their services to ensure they meet student needs. The current survey aimed to discover how students perceived staff in the Information Commons (IC) and whether their perceptions of staff attitudes and skills influenced their use of library resources. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire containing closed and open questions was distributed electronically to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Sheffield, obtaining 250 responses (c1% of the student population). Findings – The results showed that most students were unable to distinguish different groups of staff, were unaware of their departmental librarian and did not recognise the academic role of librarians. However, those who had sought assistance in the IC or attended classes delivered by librarians had positive views of their experiences. Research limitations – The timing and fixed duration of the study limited the size and nature of the sample, the generalizability of the findings and depth of the investigation, but sufficient data were collected to establish patterns of behaviour and identify important factors. Practical implications – Low awareness among students of the expertise of librarians and their capacity to provide academic support indicates a need for more promotion to ensure library resources are properly utilised. -

DORE to DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No. 97 SPRING 2010 ISSN 0965-8912 Kings Croft Fence Shock A great deal of anger has been expressed by local residents about the new fence that has been suddenly erected on the Kings Croft Playing Field. The 2m high weldmesh fence has been erected by the Dore Primary School in the full knowledge that the Dore Village Society had applied to have the area registered as a new village green. The most shocking aspect of the new enclosure is the gate that has been erected across the footpath from Vicarage Lane which has been in public use for over 40years. The head teacher of the Primary School knew about the Village Green application and indeed went ahead with the fence after the Council had placed notices on the site informing everyone that an application had been made for the new Village Green. The Planning Department has decided that the 2m high gate onto Vicarage Lane is not “adjacent to the highway” and Dore children enjoying the Punch and Judy Show at the Victory Fete held on Dore therefore does not require planning cricket ground in 1945. Do you recognise any of these faces? Would we be allowed to permission. ( The remainder of the fence is take such a picture today? also considered to be “permitted development” ). Dore Voices - Bombs The statutory notice on all three new DORE & TOTLEY and bravery in wartime village greens expired on January 29th when the Council must decide if they are WARD FORUM to register the three new greens. -
