AR2017 - How we do it

How we do it

We remain focused on improving the user experience and facilitating our patrons' information-seeking needs. We do so through our four strategic goals illustrated in this annual report.  FY17 highlights include:

  • New search -- "discovery to delivery" interface to DKL's physical and virtual resources also includes tools that improve user (and staff) workflows.  
  • Students can now reserve study rooms on the fly or up to 2 weeks in advance with enhanced Reserve a Room software.
  • Redesigned Library homepage and Special Collections & Archives pages. 
  • Lots of new eResources (eBooks, eVideos, and eJournals) available 24/7.
  • More study and colloborative space opened for students as we continued to shrink our print collections.
  • Lots more details plus Facts & Figures throughout this report!

 

I welcome your feedback!    Eleanor S. Uhlinger, University Librarian
