2008 Miracle Yearbook

n , z .... n, z z - J> rr- - a, ~ ~ t Lynn Brock Dean of Library Services , Fran Andrews Office Manager The 2007/2008 academic year for the Library included a milestone and a several new beginnings. A milestone was recognized as the campus community celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Curriculum Materials Center, which has been in four buildings during that span of time and in its current location since the Centennial Library was opened in 1987. Then there were several new beginnings. The staff of the Media Resource Center, which had its start in the 1970's, launched a re-designed and re-named service center called MediaPLEX, focusing specifically on serving students with imaging, graphics, multi-media, video integration, craft, and collaboration services. In the Fall, faculty and students returned to discover a newly designed, more user-friendly Library web site, and for Freshmen, the implementation of the "Amazing Race," a different approach to assisting freshmen in orientation to Library resources and services. The Library staff enhanced their ability to service faculty and students more effectively, and to expand the Library's instructional services program, with the addition of two new Library faculty members filling the Information Services Librarian and Instructional Services Librarian positions. The end of the academic year found the Library participating for the third time in the national library satisfaction survey called LibQUAL. This on-line survey allowed University students, faculty, and staff to evaluate their satisfaction with Library staff, resources, and services.
