From John Sowell:

Campus community,

I am pleased to announce that Nancy Gauss has been hired is the new director of library services. Nancy joined the library staff in 1992 and has assumed varied responsibilities through the years. She has served as interim director of library services since August 2007.

We look forward to working with Nancy as the library continues to enhance services and incorporate technologies to meet the ever-changing information and learning needs of students, faculty, staff, and the community.

I'd like to express my great appreciation to members of the search committee and all others who provided input on the finalists. Your efforts have resulted in the hiring of a student- and service-centered leader of library services who works hard to enhance the overall Western experience.

John Sowell

Vice President for Academic Affairs

Library West Wing Open....

2008-02-12T08:31:00.000-07:00

From Nancy's e-mail to campus:

Good news! The West Wing of the library (the old library building) is open for business at 7pm this evening! We will maintain our regular hours of operation. Therefore, the West Wing will be open until midnight tonight. Enter the building through the red doors on the south side.

For the students, being restricted to the West Wing may be a retro-library experience. We have 5 workstations (thin clients) for students to use and a large, beautiful reading room for studying. The building does have wireless networking.

The structural engineer has authorized library staff to occupy our offices. Therefore, we can be reached at our regular office numbers.

The engineer has also authorized us to provide access to the 1^st floor of the library including the Writing Center, Government Documents, and instructional lab. At present, Facilities Services is working hard to secure the building so that access can expand beyond the West Wing but is still restricted to the 1^st floor.

The following addresses some of our services and how they will operate during this transition.

Reserves, Interlibrary Loans, and Books on Hold
These materials will be relocated to the West Wing to be picked up there.

Book Drop
The book drop by the main entrance is closed. Please return materials to the West Wing during our regular hours. We will set up a box inside the red doors for library returns

Scantron Reader
The Grade Master (scantron reader) has been relocated to the West Wing.

Our Book Collection
Library staff will have access to the DVD, CD, and video collection, because it is located in a more protected area. But, the book collection, located on the top floor, will be off limits until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience. You can, however, request materials from other libraries and have them sent here even if they are materials that we own. Many of our colleagues at other libraries have offered to provide assistance. If you have a need that another library can help with, we will work out an arrangement.

If you have any questions, please ask, and let us know how we can help you and your students.

Thanks again to everyone who has made it possible for us to get back to doing what we like best --- helping you and the students.

Regards,

Nancy Gauss

Trial Database for Women Writers Project Online...

2008-01-30T08:16:00.000-07:00

The Savage Library is pleased to announce a trial for the Women's Writers Online database,
http://www.wwp.brown.edu/texts/wwoentry.html, from Brown University. From the database website:

The Brown University Women Writers Project has been working for over fifteen years on building an electronic collection of early women's writing, and on researching the complex issues involved in representing early printed texts in digital form. As the publisher of Women Writers Online, the WWP now supports the work of innumerable faculty, students, and readers at hundreds of institutions from around the world, by providing access to rare materials by women that otherwise would go unread and untaught.

Please let Jeremy Nelson know what you think of this resource. This trial database is only available from Western State Campus computers and will last until March 1st.

Article in Chronicle of Higher Education on mergers between IT and Libraries

2008-01-15T08:28:00.000-07:00

In the January 18th issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education (V.54, Issue 19, page A1), there is an article on how smaller colleges and university libraries are merging with campus information technology departments. Some notes from the article:

Rarely are there cost savings in such a move
Culture clashes between librarians and IT staff can occur when the two are merged
But, such mergers provide unified services to students who focus on electronic resources

While the article states that there is a trend of students not using paper books, I have found at Western State that our print collection is used by student patrons who do come to the library to find print as well as electronic resources provided by the library. We as librarians can do better and we should continue to find ways to streamline our resources and expertise to our patrons in light of the increasing electronic nature of our jobs. We will continue to develop our relationship with the great people of WSC's Computing Services for the benefit of the students, faculty, staff, and general public.

While the Internet and the digitalization efforts of corporations like Google and Microsoft seems to make the library obsolete, Professor Grafton believes libraries are and will be integral to research and reading for the foreseeable future.

Information Commons

2007-05-17T12:37:00.000-06:00

By now many people have heard about the new Information Commons to be built in the library. Here are some answers to questions we've been getting..

What is an information commons? It's a place for students to interact, get research assistance, and work in groups together or individually on course assignments. It will contain a range of study experiences, from individual computer carrels to small group study areas with internet access or without to individual work areas and comfy chairs to group areas where you can practice presentations.

Where will it be? In the quiet study area, behind the circulation desk?

When will it be ready? We hope it will be ready when classes start this Fall.

If you have any other questions, please ask us.

Open Access Journal article from BBC

2007-03-01T12:49:00.000-07:00

The following article on the growing support for open-access scientific journals in Europe is a good sign given the increasing cost of electronic journals. Any government funded research would be required to publish in one of these open-access journals.

The User Revolution and The Media Divide

2007-02-27T15:47:00.000-07:00

I found the following blog entry on how companies can succeed in the new media world interesting in how some of the same strategies can be applied to the Library. The blogger's information comes from an IBM report and a couple of highlights for me:

1 Put consumers at the center of your business

3 Deliver experiences, not just content

4 Leverage virtual worlds

9 Determine entry strategy for going “open”

10 Make user behavior a competitive advantage

Step Back in Time - Visit the Jensen Room!

2007-02-13T12:44:00.000-07:00

Interested in Gunnison's history? Looking for new ways to procrastinate? Need a reason to take a study break? Just plain bored? Come by Savage Library’s Helen A. Jensen Room (room 301). The room is open Sunday through Wednesday, 7:00pm – 10:00pm.

The Jensen Room features the Western Colorado Collection, which includes books and other materials pertaining primarily to the history and culture of the Gunnison area, as well as, groovy décor that will blast you right into the 1970’s.

If you aren’t interested in researching local history topics, like Alferd Packer and his venture into cannibalism, you can mosey on up to take in the retro setting…or at least bask in the quiet the room offers. So come visit, pull up a sofa cushion, and soak up the past.
