Program Review - Library

Mission Statement: Fostering learning and personal growth for the community it serves, the Moreno Valley College Librarysupports the educational mission of the Moreno Valley College through information literacy, equitable access to high quality,appropriate information sources, and adequate library facilities to ensure the educational needs of the community it serves.Through the professional and paraprofessional staff, the library will provide resources and services that promote and supportstudent success in a learning-centered environment.Has mission statement changed since last review?: NoAlign your discipline mission to college mission: 1. challenges, and empowers our diverse, multicultural community of learnersto realize their goals;Semester submitted: Spring 2015Major developments and changes: Personnel

Since the last review, Moreno Valley College Library has seen many changes in organizational structure and operationalprocesses. As stated in the previous Comprehensive Instructional Program Review, the administrative structure of the MVCLibrary mirrored that of the Riverside City College Library and Norco College Library. That symmetry has been removed. As of July1, 2014, the position of Dean, Technology and Instructional Support Services was eliminated. This position was held by a Deanwith a Faculty Service Area (FSA) in Library Science. Upon elimination of the position, administratively, the Dean of Instruction isnow responsible for the Moreno Valley College Library. This organizational change maintains the library under the academic sideof the college.

When the Dean of Technology and Instructional Support Services position was eliminated, the previous dean retreated to theMoreno Valley College Library. This resulted in the library gaining a second full-time librarian faculty, who is also a member of theCommunications department. The addition of a second full time library faculty resulted in a significant decrease in adjunct libraryfaculty hours, from approximately 44 hours per week to 18 hours per week. Since 2010 the library has maintained the sameoperational hours. The decrease in adjunct library faculty hours has negatively impacted the ability of the full time faculty to fullyparticipate in shared governance and professional development activities.

Technology

The library continues to request new equipment to replace the end-of-life technology available to students in the library. Thelibrary continues to lobby for a print vend system that is more in line with industry standards and a vendor that is responsive tothe print needs of the college.

This improved technology would align with the following RCCD Strategic Theme:

Student Access: Remove barriers to access for all students, while making the process of accessing new student information andapplying to District Colleges more user-friendly.

Library Resources

The library continues to request funding from the Perkins grant to fund Career and Technical Education resources that otherwisethe library could not provide access to. However, since these funds are not guaranteed and are not intended to supplant thelibrary's budget, the library continues to advocate for adequate institutionalized funding for all resources. The age of thelibrary's print collection is quite dated and in need of weeding. However, without additional staffing a strategic plan cannot beestablished to begin a weeding project, and without institutionalized funding, any items withdrawn from the collection could notbe replaced with newer, more accurate and relevant print materials.

Library Space

With the completion of the SAS building, the library experienced secondary effects. As a result of the secondary effects, space onthe third floor of the library building was returned as library space. The library was able to add four group study rooms, makingthe total number of study rooms available to students five. The decision to add additional group study rooms is supported bylibrary data (http://researchguides.mvc.edu/libdata). The study room that was taken from the library in the previous year whenit was converted to an office for staff was not returned to the library as part of the secondary effects.

Secondary effects of the library building resulted in the loss of staff and faculty office space in the library. A staff person's workarea was moved behind the circulation desk, thus decreasing the area the library has to store materials and supplies as well asdecreased the work space for staff. Additionally, a wall was erected in the faculty member's office, giving the faculty memberapproximately 70 square feet, well below the district standard of 110 square feet and below the suggested statewide standard of90 square feet. The decrease in office space makes it difficult for the faculty member to hold small meetings or consultations inthe office space. Neither the new staff work space nor the faculty office is easily accessible by disabled students.

List Program Objectives or Data: To maintain industry standards inlibrary systems.Advocate for funding for an Integrated Library System for the Moreno Valley College Library as we strive to move toward a moreautonomous structure.



Describe Objectives or DataDirect: Institutional Research or Other Data - The librarians have researched the top ILS systems, attended webinars,visited other colleges with various ILS systems, met with district wide colleagues, and maintained currency on changes toILS systems through professional listservs. (Active)


Since the ILS is a district-wide system, the library discipline will recommend the ILS that best serves the students needs across thedistrict.


Action PlansAction Plan: Advocate for funding for an Integrated Library System for the Moreno Valley College Library as we strive to movetoward a more autonomous structure.

Continue researching potential ILS alternatives and/or upgrades to the current system that is no longer being supported by thevendor. Provide the college with the relevant funding needs that would be necessary for these changes.

This would be dependent upon the Moreno Valley College Library having its own cataloging librarian, acquisitions librarian as wellas their support staff and IT person for maintenance of the Integrated Library System.

This objective is in alignment with the goal in the Technology Plan which states that the plan should:"Provide adequate staffing levels and technology to support technology needs and requests.""Keep labs to current technology standards based on department's needs and current technology.

Evaluation of Objectives and/or Data AnalysisReport Submitted: 2014 - 2015 (Fall 2014)

The library discipline offers one section of LIB 1: Information Competency, a one-unit transferable course, every semester.Enrollment in LIB 1 has not varied significantly between 2009 and 2013.

In the 2009 – 2010 academic year, LIB 1 was taught as part of a learning community in a face-to-face, 16 week format. Studentsenrolled in LIB 1 were required to be concurrently enrolled in Eng 50. If a student withdrew from one of these courses, they wererequired to withdraw from both. This constraint could have contributed to the lower success rates in LIB 1 during this time.Students could have been focusing on succeeding in their Eng 50 class, which is a three unit class that is a necessary prerequisiteto higher level, transferable English courses.

After spring 2010, LIB 1 was no longer offered as part of a learning community. The removal of this concurrent enrollmentrequirement could be one factor that contributed to the increased enrollment. Between fall 2010 and spring 2012 LIB 1 wastaught as a face-to-face, eight week class that began in the second half of the semester. The shift from a 16 week course to aneight week course could be another contributing factor for the increased enrollment as well as success and retention ratesincreasing.

In the 2012 – 2013 academic year, LIB 1 was taught as an eight week, hybrid course in which half of the weekly student contacthours were completed online. During this time, enrollment increased slightly; however, success and retention rates decreasedslightly. This could indicate that students are more successful in a smaller class where there is more time for individual attention.

Performance Target Met: Fall 201410/15/2014

Action PlansAction Plan: In an effort to accommodate more students’ schedules and appeal to a variety of learning styles, beginning in spring2015 LIB 1 will be taught as a fully online, eight week course. The goal is to increase enrollment while allowing students to haveas much individualized help as needed and possible to be successful. (05/07/2015)Action Plan Number: 20
