We Care--Virtually and in Person: A User-Centered Approach to Assessment, Implementation and Promotion of Library Resources and Services to a Remote Graduate Campus
Tremblay, Paul; Wang, Zhonghong
Public Services Quarterly, v4 n3 p207-232 2008
The article relates how the Brooklyn Campus Library of Long Island University, despite limitations of physical distance and the varying conditions of the remote graduate campus at Westchester, makes every effort to face each challenge creatively with practical solutions for implementation. We share our findings and experiences--what worked and what did not--and what remains to be done in terms of supporting the curricula and bringing library resources and services to a mixture of remote site users. The authors recount how the gap between reality and the ideal is reduced and unique issues relevant to remote users are resolved by the Brooklyn Campus Library, in collaboration with other units of Long Island University. We relate how we combine library instruction with our marketing efforts to promote library resources and services. We also analyze survey data and interlibrary loan statistics to assess our success. The article contributes to the ongoing discussion of improving and promoting library resources and services to remote sites. (Contains 2 figures.)
