Goal Concepts for Access Support
2012/2013

Organization

  1. Absorb course reserve responsibilities (print and electronic reserves) for the Journalism Library; work with AFA to plan for absorbing some of Music Library course reserves operations in early 2013.
  2. Collaborate with Branch Libraries to plan and implement centralizing of E-reserves materials processing; evaluate workflow to ensure quality and timeliness of services and availability.

Policy, Procedure, Communication, Documentation

  1. Migrate library-wide access support and circulation policies and procedures to Access Support and Circulation Discussion Group SharePoint; collaborate with members to update policies and procedures as necessary.
  2. Post public circulation policies on the Access Support home page; maintain current and accurate documents.
  3. Migrate department documents and policies from Access Services LibGuide to Access Support SharePoint; maintain current procedures and workflows.
  4. Maintain up-to-date content on Access Support, Interlibrary Loan, and Course Reserves web pages (include hours, staff organization, statistical reports, and unit goals).
  5. Develop plan for marketing Access Support services to UF users: Course Reserves on Ares and Copyright best practices; Interlibrary Loan Services on UBorrow and Books on Demand.
  6. Establish Course reserves accessibility processes to accommodate patrons with specific needs.

Data Integration

  1. Work with IT, Atlas and OCLC in converting ILLiad log on so that it conforms to UF Shibboleth authentication systems.
  2. Provide support and system update coordination for ILLiad and Ares with HSCL/Borland and Legal Information Center.
  3. Evaluate Ariel document delivery service for cancellation in an effort to cancel the service with Lyrasis; announce cancellation to SUS.
  4. Collaborate with Acquisitions to review guidelines for placing orders through Books on Demand patron driven service.
  5. Collaborate with Acquisitions to review guidelines and refine processing for ordering materials to fill course reserves requests from UF faculty.
  6. Investigate the utility of ILLiad and Ares Add-ons (short-cuts); implement add-ons that contribute to workflow efficiency.

Training

  1. Paul McDonough will collaborate with Christine Fruin to contribute copyright training that supports faculty submitting course reserve requests.
  2. Melanie Davis will develop a basic interlibrary loan program for library staff to provide general information about ILL services; she will also create a LibGuide to document the PowerPoint presentation.
  3. Continue cross training Course Reserves and Interlibrary Loan staff in various unit tasks and refine workflows as needed.
