The statistics will be used for the following areas: Strategic Communication, Planning, Systemwide Administrative (required), and Collaborative Operational Management. SOPAG recently was tasked with determining the types of statistics that make sense for the online environment. Systemwide Library Planning has been collecting statistics for many years, but these statistics haven’t always accurately reflected the online environment. We’re trying to move our services into the flow of where people do their work. We like to think we listen to users we put a lot of effort in user needs and we try to bring value to their experience. Within the next month or two, we’ll be publishing a CDL Profile commemorating our 10 year anniversary and the 25th anniversary of Melvyl. The new University Librarian…can’t give the scoop on this because the decision has not yet been made. We’re revitalizing our internship program…interns from UCB, San Jose State and UCLA iSchools.
Rachel Hu (who was present at the meeting) is our User Experience designer, Debra Bartling, Mike McKenna and Emily Stambaugh….new people with really great backgrounds. Introductions to new CDL staff, Stephen Abrams, Nancy Scott-Noennig, Stephanie Collette, and Adam Brin. We’ve still been able to do all this work in spite of these vacancies. We’ve been able to fill a number of vacancies – 13 recruitments are in progress. We will be taking a 12 % budget cut, which is less than OP in general. We did a reorganization in 2006 so we’ve been through this already. Some of the infrastructure on which we depend is being rebuilt. Some things are being torn down and rebuilt…confusion abounds. It’s like working in a construction zone. It’s important that everyone realizes where we are right now. What’s happening at the Office of the President.

See Laine Farley’s PowerPoint presentation for details.īroad view…a full day of interesting details about these projects. Once again, thank you for all your work we can’t tell you how important you are to us. We ceased Telnet Melvyl, dealt with a number of database issues such as the big EBSCO change (moving from Expanded Academic ASAP), worked on getting some East Asian databases up and running, changes in digital special collections and the e-scholarship repository, an exciting new change in Request, improvements in UC-eLinks, etc. Users Council commented on many and various topics this year, such as Google books.
Role of Users Council: For being a communication line between your institution and the CDL, for getting input…it’s very valuable to get input from the front line librarians.
