Enhanced Library Hours Proposal: Plan A vs. Plan B for Optimal Student Support

This proposal explores two plans for extending library hours to better serve the student community. Plan A suggests extended hours with a closing time of 1 AM on weekdays and a 6:30 AM opening, employing minimal additional staff at a cost of $67,658. Plan B offers 24-hour access for 5 days a week, starting at noon Sunday and closing at 7 PM Friday, with a higher cost of $93,585 but reflecting positive usage data and better alignment with student needs. The recommendation favors increased access for enhanced student productivity and satisfaction.

  11. Plan A: Extended Hours Because . . . • Supported by quantifiable data • 6:30am opening aligns with UH commuter population patterns • Can be accomplished with 1 half-time Civil Service position

  12. Plan B: 24/5 Because . . . • Affective data very positive • Quantifiable data indicates growing use • Remaining open is more cost-effective than closing/opening • Takes Library Hours issue off the table

  13. Other Factors: • 4000 users per day vs. 4000 in 9 weeks • Campus Security sees no problem with expansion that can’t be handled • Custodial costs pending; no major problems during 24/3 • No security incidents reported during 24/3
