As the depository for the 7th Congressional District, the Government Documents collection was inspected by the Government Printing Office. Our depository was given the highest rating on all seven areas of inspection and was referred to as a "strong depository in all respects." Ingram Library's depository self-study was presented by GPO at a national conference as a model of practice.

II. Progress in Strategic Planning

A. Liaison Program. The library faculty significantly strengthened the liaison program to academic departments. A collection profile was constructed for each department/program and specific, new funds committed to those profiles. Library faculty provide instruction to classes within their liaison areas, in addition to general instruction for freshman/sophomores.

B. Instruction and Services. A total of 136 groups (3200 persons) received library instruction. Seven sections of LIBR 1101 were taught. Every instruction session and each course section is evaluated by a standardized student evaluation instrument. Content and pedagogy are reviewed in light of those evaluations, and those evaluations are considered in awarding merit pay to Library faculty. Interlibrary Loan Services processed more than 15,000 requests for materials. An electronic user survey indicates that satisfaction is high with procedural streamlining of processes.

C. Collections. More than 150 additional electronic journals in image format were added to the collection, available from anywhere on campus. An electronic access list was created that provides direct www links to more than 2800 journals available in online format. The Library is able to generate usage statistics for electronic resources comparable to circulation and other traditional service measurements. Expenditures through the liaison program added approximately $50,000 worth of new materials to the collection in direct response to faculty and program needs.

D. Facilities. The special collections area was renovated, more than doubling in size. A space planning committee redesigned the first floor of the library. More than 4500 linear feet of shelving was added to accommodate the growing collection. Computer workstations for the Library classroom were doubled, with appropriate firmware/software.

III. Overall Health of Unit. Overall health of the unit is good. Ingram Library is well-positioned to implement Voyager as part of the GIL statewide library, to enhance both collections and instruction by continuing to strengthen the liaison program, and to build on traditional and emerging library services to remain a vibrant support service to Academic Affairs of the institution.
