Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12 Print and Electronic Collections: The library‘s print collection consists approximately of 64,000 volumes and students have access to over 25,000 electronic books (ebooks). Currently the library subscribes to approximately 150 print periodicals, more than 35 databases, and 6 daily newspapers. The King City Education Center and Alisal Center offer students full access to the library‘s ebook collection, and subscription databases. The King City Center includes a small print collection of reference books and current subscriptions to periodicals including newspapers. The library encourages faculty and others to suggest additions to the library‘s collection. There is a link on the library‘s website where suggestions may be submitted, and a list of librarian selectors/liaisons to disciplines is available on request. (II.C.3, II.C.4) The library tracks purchases by discipline. At year end, librarians review the number of purchases for each discipline and plan for the upcoming year. The intent is to achieve a balanced collection and to ensure that disciplines are not overlooked, while purchasing books and media that meet the needs of students and faculty. (II.C.5) Audio Visual Services: Faculty and staff may request audio visual equipment for classroom or college events by submitting a request to Audio Visual Services (AV Services). AV Services has laptop computers and projectors, sound systems, overhead projectors, DVD/VCR/TVs, digital cameras, camcorders, plasma screens, screens, tripods, easels, and lecterns that can be delivered to campus locations. Request forms are available on the library‘s website; faculty and staff can also email requests to the AV Technician. With the increase in smart classrooms, the demand for this service has declined. There has been an increase in requests from faculty for technical assistance. (II.C.6) AV Services is open from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Occasionally for special events, service is extended to weekend and evening hours. Self Evaluation The Library‘s book, ebook, and subscription databases provide a wealth of diverse, high quality academic content to students. The library is very heavily used by students. The many computers, the group study rooms, and the comfortable, quiet study spaces provide an atmosphere conducive to research, study, and learning. During the spring 2013 semester the Tutorial Center and TRIO will move into the library and temporarily occupy group study rooms, offices, and the Silent Study room. Since November 2012, two student group study rooms have been used as offices by the Interim Dean of Institutional Planning and Effectiveness and a research analyst. Student access to computers, group study rooms, and silent study space are impacted by these changes. The college meets this standard. Planning Agenda Page 178
Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12 Library staff will continue to evaluate its collections, deselecting older materials, and purchasing updated items that meet the curricular needs of students. Electronic publications that can be accessed by distance learning students and students at the other campuses will be given a high priority. Support for faculty requesting technical assistance will be provided. __________________________________________________________ II.C.1.b The institution provides ongoing instruction for users of library and other learning support services so that students are able to develop skills in information competency. __________________________________________________________ Descriptive Summary Information skills are a college core competency, and the library‘s credit Library Instruction courses emphasize development of the important research and evaluation skills needed by successful college students. These courses build on students‘ research skills, aid in preparing transfer students for academic university research, and facilitate life-long learning. During the fall and spring semesters, the library offers five credit courses that teach students information competency skills. The number of students completing information competency credit courses has increased in recent years. (II.C.7) The library also offers faculty-requested orientations that emphasize specific discipline resources and/or search techniques. These orientations teach basic information competency skills to students. While the number of presentations has decreased slightly, the number of students attending these presentations has increased. (II.C.8) The library typically offers drop-in workshops every semester. With the retirement of the Student Services Librarian in spring 2011, the workshop schedule has been reduced. The faculty librarians have worked for years to institute an information competency graduation requirement for students. In 2003 the Academic Senate adopted a definition and proposal relating to information competency. In 2007 the Academic Senate passed a resolution establishing an information competency graduation requirement. Also in 2007 the Academic Senate passed a resolution approving General Education/Institutional Outcomes, including information skills. In 2010 a subcommittee of the Academic Senate recommended a path to implementing information competency. The recommendation included the best practice that students enroll in information competency classes early in their college careers so as to gain the most value from the classes and so that they might build on the skills learned and developed in their Library Instruction classes, and use them in their other courses. The information competency recommendation has not been implemented, and quite often enrollment in information competency classes has not been at the beginning of a student‘s college education.
