The final review from
the SACSOC onsite team was very favorable. The team inquired about support for
recently added majors, library staff professional development and was very pleased
with the recent library remodeling.
The library was
presented with the USG Innovation award for transformative design.
One of the library’s
goals is to streamline and revise online instructional tutorials and help
support faculty to improve information literacy efforts for their students. The
library is also creating an electronic newsletter geared towards faculty to
promote specific library services and resources which support instruction.
Librarians also attend new faculty orientation, adjunct professors’ workshops,
and departmental meetings to explain available services as well. The Library
Committee will discuss a request to compose a paragraph that faculty may use in
syllabi to inform students of library resources.
In May 2017 the Ex
Libris ALMA library management system will go online. Also, they would like to
implement the LibQUAL service quality survey next year.
