SFU Library Annual Report 2010-11

Message

from

the University

Librarian

his past year was one marked by both

continuity and change for the

SFU Li-

brary. With strong University support, the

Library continued to

build general and spe-

cial collections that are responsive to diverse

needs

of SFU students and researchers. The

Student Learning Commons attracted new cli-

ents to its range of service programs support-

ing student academic success.

The SFU Library

is renown for technology-based innovations in

user services and this past year saw many new

developments. In reference services a new

mobile website and Fast Search were added.

Scholarly publishing programs were enhanced

through free

journal hosting services for fac-

ulty and students as well as funding support

faculty for the digitization of scholarly works.

These are

just a sampling of the service pro-

grams

that thrived during the past year and

were

led and delivered by a highly-competent

cadre

of professional staff at all levels.

The past year was also marked by transition

and new challenges. As the new Dean, I initi-

ated a strategic

planning process building upon

the achievements

of the previous strategic

plan. The process involved a range of in-depth

stakeholder consultations, staff interviews and

research into the state of academic libraries

worldwide.

The word cloud on the facing page is

derived

rom the transcript of the Library's stra-

tegic

planning retreat that marked the culmina-

tion of this process.

The Library was also an active partner in the

new President's envision>SFU process. We con-

ducted a significant

self-study as part of a for-

mal external review of our programs. The Library

became the third department

on campus to be

"Green Leaf Certified", part of the University-

wide

Green Offices campaign.

The Library moved forward with several new

strategic initiatives. A

new financial sustainabil-

ity model was developed for the Public Knowl-

edge Project. Steps were taken toward estab-

lishmen

of a Research Commons in the second

floor of Bennett Library. Planning began for a

major

remodel of the Bennett Library third floor

as well as the creation of a Student Learning

Commons space at the Belzberg Library.

The Library at SFU is thriving due to the dedi-

cation

of its staff and the role that it clearly

serves in support of learning and research at

SFU. We look forward to working with SFU and

engaging with the broader community

in the

coming years.

U Library Annual Report 2010-11

Research Services

Collections

more and more collections are acquired in

digital form, the library has increasingly turned

its attention to cooperative

digital preserva-

tion

solutions. The library

joined

CLOCKSS, a

trusted

community-governed

digital archive,

to complement our existing memberships in

LOCKSS

(Lots

of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and

Portico.

Even so, building our collection of print

books remains a core activity, one to which

devoted over $1.5 million last year. We also

used detailed analysis of e-book usage at SFU

to move toward purchasing electronic books in

a more targeted fashion.

The

SFU Library has a well-respected tradi-

tion

of valuing faculty and student input for col-

lection building.

We have begun a new method

of e-book selection whereby a group of titles

are added to the library catalogue prior to pur-

chase.

Use of a given book by SFU readers

above a certain

threshold then triggers

its

pur-

chase.

This guarantees

that

acquire only

books in demand by the community.

Cataloguing

During the year 69,784 electronic monographs

were

added to

OPAC, the online

catalogue.

The

number

of e-monographs

catalogued

individu-

ally went up 54% bringing the total number

of electronic monographs in

our

catalogue to

692,858.

keep

up with the transition from print to

digital, the cataloguers

were

trained to

cata-

logue three types

electronic monographs.

They were

also trained on two kinds of sound

recordings. The number

of sound recordings

catalogued increased by 71%. The catalogu-

ers also completed a number of projects that

weeded

thousands of items from the system,

and ensured

that items would be found cor-

rectly using the Library's new Fast Search.

Publishing

and

Digitization

Services

The first year of SFU's Central Open Access

Fund has been a success. From its inception

in February

2010, the fund paid $39,000 in

article processing charges for 28 faculty and

graduate

student authors who published in

Open Access journals.

The Library also launched a Scholarly

Digitization Fund in 2010, awarding over

$35,000 to eight small projects for digitization

material to be stored in the SUMMIT institu-

tional repository. The projects were:

•

John Welch

(REM/Archaeology):

digitizing

materials from White Mountain Apache Tribe

Arizona.

•

Paul Budra

(English):

further digitization of

Special Collections' punk posters, the maga-

zine Snotrag and

15 minutes of music.

•

Stephen Collis

(English):

digitization of se-

lected

Robin Blaser audio tapes in Special

Collections.

•

Mark Leier (History): digitization of 297 mai

'68

posters in Special Collections.

•

Leith Davis

(English

and Centre for Scottish

Studies): digitization

of audio tapes of oral

histories of Scottish immigrants to Canada.

•

Gerontology

Research Centre: digitizing pa-

per studies and reports

published by the

Gerontology Research Centre.

•

Indigenous

Student's Centre: digitization of

works

aboriginal scholarship carried out

SFU or of interest to SFU and the wider

aboriginal community.

• Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies: dig-

itizing the Ruth

Wynn Woodward collection of

scholarly papers in the GSWS department.

SUMMIT is the new SFU institutional reposi-

tory which was

developed to showcase and

preserve the research,

scholarship and artistic

works of

SFU faculty and graduate students.

SUMMIT provides centralized web-based long-

term access to all types of SFU scholarly out-

put,

including documents, datasets, images,

audio, video, and more.

Material stored in

SUMMIT is quickly indexed by Google and be-

comes available world-wide. Works are stored

and maintained by the library, ensuring their

availability over time as technology changes.

Document Delivery & Media Resources

This year the Library formally adopted a ser-

vice policy whereby all SFU patrons receive

equal Inter-Library Loan treatment. Before this

change, undergraduate students

could only

request items from libraries where direct re-

questing was available. Now everyone gets the

same service as graduates,

faculty and staff.

based initiative to make accessible the results

Student Learning Commons

Over 3000 undergraduate and graduate stu-

dents booked or dropped

in for individual con-

sultations with SLC Peers, Facilitators, and

Coordinators

in 2010/11, a 22% increase.

Graduate student

consultations increased

77% over all. Nearly 1,400 motivated students

attended 117 open registration workshops of-

fered

at all three campuses.

The SLC also organized a comprehensive

program

of graduate workshops on topics

such as

literature reviews, alerting services,

presentation

skills, and dissertation planning.

These were delivered by SLC coordinators, li-

brarians, and faculty.

SLC Director Elaine Fairey worked with BC

post-secondary library and writing colleagues

to plan the WriteAway project, a collaborative

provincial online writing support service in-

tended as a companion to the

well-established

AskAway chat reference service.

For the Back On Track program, SLC staff

gave 39 Getting Started sessions, over a

thousand one hour

learning plan consulta-

tions, and co-facilitated 35 sections of the BOT

120 weekly seminars and 13 sections of the

BOT 140 bi-weekly seminars with Health and

Counseling Services counselors.

Information and Instruction

Substantial numbers of students sought in-

person

library information and assistance

with

research papers,

while use of the online

AskAway service rose dramatically with 30%

more questions coming through the SFU portal

this year. SFU researchers continue to be the

heaviest users

of this online reference service,

making up

close to 23% of the AskAway total,

while

SFU librarians answer about 9% of the

total BC AskAway questions.

under

the

auspices

of the Community Historical

In 1914, a crowded ship from Hong Kong car-

rying 376 passengers,

including many would

India, arrived at

the port of

Vancouver.

The ship was refused

entry to
