Strategic Plan

Collections

Build a vibrant collection that supports undergraduate learning, research, and intellectual curiosity.

  • Pursue suggestions obtained from the April 2024 ThurCo about the diversity audit (Stefanie and librarians)

  • Develop signage and other aids to improve findability of materials, and clarify what can and cannot be checked out (Christine, Mary, and student workers)

    • Draw on results from accessibility review

  • Review and streamline check-out periods for all circulating materials, including course reserves (Christine, Mary, and Julia, with input from management team)

    • As part of this project, evaluate whether to circulate print reference materials

    • Assess specific needs for technology collection

  • Research and improve guidelines for campus collecting and college deposits (Micaela)

  • Assess, develop, and promote collection of wellness kits (Garrett and Kaitlyn)

  • Evaluate content, purpose, and name of self care collection (Stefanie and Garrett)

  • Identify subject areas in need of collection development, and purchase new materials (liaison librarians)
