Use of FLITE’s online resources is up over 22% from last year, almost every month last semester broke a record; more than 600,000 hits are expected in 2006/2007. • Virtual reference assistance (via chat and email) usage increased 11% over the previous year (total of 1,008 transactions in FY2005-06). • New service initiatives are popular; 1,327 faculty and students users have begun using RefWorks since its launch in summer 2006.

  43. Pillar 1 - Learning-Centered University • FLITE-wide noise policy designed to control, but not outlaw, conversation and cell phone use was rolled out in late 2006. Special signage signaling designated quiet zones and staff intervention seem to be helping. • Strong library instruction support of FSUS program – worked with 93% of sections, up from 56% in Fall 2005; overall instruction sessions up 18%.

  44. Pillar 2 - Work Together • Partly due to the success of filling all vacant positions in FLITE in 2006, many teams, and committees are now actively working on major projects and/or addressing significant issues, including assessment, web and online catalog development, and promotion of services. • Continued internal policy, procedure, and work process documentation effort; and posted the documents on FLITE’s intranet.

  45.

Pillar 3 - Create an Engaged Campus • Library faculty, staff, and administrators participated in and contributed to many university-wide engagement projects, e.g., American Democracy Project, Martin Luther King Jr. Week activities, FerrisConnect development, Web portal development, Banner Live!, Ferris Pride Committee. Five FLITE employees also worked as adjunct faculty in four colleges in 2006/2007. • Refocused FLITE display program; enhanced quality and visual appeal of displays by engaging Media Production’s design services. • As a result of installing a new cable playback system in 2006, Ferris Cable broadcast hours nearly doubled to 20 hours per week, with no added staff.

  47. Unit Action Plan Submission 2006/2007
