Library User Surveys Spring 2006 and Responses (ii) INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this report is to provide an overview of activity in the Sampson- Livennore Library of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke during Fiscal Year 2006 (FY 06), or July 1,2005 - June 30,2006. The analysis of the year at the Sampson-Livermore Library will be organized according to the format contained in the National Center for Education Statistics Academic Libraries Survey. The data referred to herein were reported to the United States Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, and its National Center for Education Statistics in November 2006. Ultimately these data become part of the national databank of comparative information about libraries in the United States. The major areas addressed are: - library staff - library expenditures - library collections - library services - electronic services A copy of the 2006 Academic Libraries Survey is contained in Attachment A to this report. It is the expectation of the writer of this annual report that information about the Library of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP) will prove useful to members of the University community and residents of the areas the University serves. Communication with library users will assist library staff in their continuous efforts to deliver and improve services as the University grows locally and expands globally. Elinor Folger Foster Dean of Library Services December 2006 (iii) THE SAMPSON-LIVERMORE LIBRARY IN FISCAL YEAR 2006 LIBRARY STAFF Enrollment increases at UNC Pembroke continued to drive the need for and the means to achieve the addition of resources at the Sampson-Livermore Library. Funds granted to the Library in FY 06 as the result of enrollment growth revenue were used primarily to enhance the breadth and depth of information resources, as will be discussed in the Library Collections section of this report. Two new positions were created and the library administrative structure was reconfigured; all of these developments occurred in response to the need to more effectively manage the growth in the library budget and the increased demand for delivery of services by library staff. New Positions There were two positions added to the library staff in FY 06, bringing the total number of positions to 32 (13 librarians, 19 support staff). The positions that were added were Collection Development/Electronic Resources Librarian and Library Assistant I for Document Delivery/ Borrowing. The former position was needed to assist with managing responsibilities associated with the larger budget for acquisitions the Library was fortunate to receive. The latter was created to assist with processing the greater volume of interlibrary loan activity that has developed due to increased faculty and student requests for assistance in procuring materials not owned by the Library as well as the continually growing volume of requests for loans of materials from our library collection to patrons of other libraries. The position of Collection Development/Electronic Resources Librarian was assumed January 1, 2006 by Carl Danis, formerly Instructional Services/Reference Librarian, who had joined the library staff October 1,2002. Filling this position enabled the former Acquisitions/Collection Development Librarian, Susan Whitt, to concentrate on managing the purchase of new materials; her title became Acquisitions Librarian. The Library Assistant I for Document Delivery/Borrowing position was filled December 5,2005 by Penny Locklear, formerly Circulation Library Assistant, who joined the library staff September 25,200 1. Adding this position made it possible for the volume of interlibrary loan requests to be divided into borrowing and lending functions, all of which were formerly reviewed by Tela Brooks. Mrs. Brooks, who joined the library staff on a full-time basis October 1, 1989, assumed the new title of Library Technical Assistant I for Interlibrary Loadending. Reorganizing the need for assistance in mentoring and working closely with the larger number of librarians on the staff (increased from 8 in FY 99 to 13 in FY 06), the library director requested from Dr. Charles Harrington, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the approval for two new administrative titles in January 2006. Dr. Harrington had initiated the change in title of Dr. Elinor Foster, formerly University Librarian, effective January 1,2006, to Dean of Library Services. Dr. Foster subsequently asked Dr. Harrington for approval of the two new administrative titles, Assistant Dean for Collection Management and Acquisitions and Assistant Dean for Research Services and Systems. Dr. Harrington and Dr. Allen Meadors approved the appointments of Susan Whitt to the former title and Cynthia Saylor to the latter, effective February 14,2006. Assuming the title of Coordinator of Cataloging Services at the same time was Jean Sexton, who would be assisting in supervising a major portion of the responsibilities that had been assumed by Susan Whitt. Jean Sexton joined the library staff October 10, 1983, Cynthia Saylor January 9, 1996. Susan Whitt rejoined the staff August 1, 1999 after a period of residence in Texas; previously she had been employed in public services at the Mary Livermore Library from 1990 to 1993. Staff Vacancies: Librarians Two librarian vacancies were filled in FY 06; they were the Serials Librarian and Instructional Services/Reference Librarian positions. The Serials Librarian position was vacated August 12,2005, when Barbara Gushrowski returned to her home state to accept a position in the library of the dental school of Indiana University. Accepting the Serials Librarian position, effective November 1,2005, was Robert Wolf, a graduate of the College of New Jersey and the School of Information and Library Science of UNC Chapel Hill. The position of Instructional ServicesIReference Librarian, vacated when Carl Danis became Collection DevelopmentlElectronic Resources Librarian January 1,2006, was filled by Anthony Holderied May 15,2006. A graduate of Appalachian State and North Carolina Central Universities, Mr. Holderied formerly provided reference service at Methodist College.
