Annual Report

UMass Dartmouth Library / 2002-2003

Scientist and politician John Lubbock wrote his praise of the

library in the latter half of the nineteenth century, but his

words are just as true today. In addition to being transported

by the written word, the contemporary library user can garner

information from every corner of the globe: not only from printed

books and journals but from a burgeoning array of electronic

resources that offer full-text articles, chapters from books, and full-

color images, all at the press of a fingertip.

Today’s challenges are two-fold for the academic library: to ac-

quire the resources necessary to support the university’s educa-

tional goals; and to ensure that students and faculty know the

value of these resources and how to use them effectively.

Costs for all library resources are increasing at astronomical rates,

but the expenses associated with electronic resources are some of

the most daunting. Prices for online databases can range from

$2,500 to $50,000 annually.

Initiatives to purchase electronic products collaboratively with

other libraries help lessen the strain on the budget. And continued

financial support from the university’s administration, as well as

from our donors and friends, helps the University Library maintain

excellence in all aspects of its collection.

The second part of the challenge is to help

our students understand the value of the

resources we make available to them, and

use them effectively.

Having “surfed the web” for years, many of

today’s computer-savvy students need to

be taught the difference between the

“information” available on the Internet

and the information provided through the

library’s collections. Their professors are

starting to demand that they learn to

weigh the relative merits of information:

Where did it come from? Who checked its

accuracy and reliability? Who stands

behind it?

“I like to compare the web to the interstate highway system: it’s

good, and it gets you to a lot of places, but not necessarily to your

destination,” said Paige Gibbs, chair of the Information Services

department and reference librarian for engineering, philosophy,

psychology and textile science, among other disciplines.

“When students use a web search engine instead of the library’s

resources, they’re not getting to the vast amount of information

we have made available, and they’re depriving themselves of the

best information. We have the best work by the best scholars in

the world, in all areas. Each database we offer speaks the lan-

guage of that subject.”

Gibbs said that “more faculty members are getting very specific

about students’ being able to discern the sources of the informa-

tion they are using in papers and research.”

“There are two layers of dependability with the library’s resources:

the vendors who are making them available and the librarians who

are helping you gain access. You can trust these resources. On the

Internet, you might be getting trash. How do you sort it out?”

Offering “library instruction” is therefore an integral part of the

library’s mission, just as it was in the days of card catalogs and

printed indexes. Now called “information literacy,” the instruction

occurs, ideally, at a number of points in a student’s academic

career, beginning in the freshman year.

Reference librarian Geri Cubbal coordinates library instruction for

the freshman English courses, the first opportunity for students to

discover what the library offers and to meet the professionals who

can help them.

“We address both computer literacy and information literacy when

we work with students in the English 101 classes,” said Cubbal.

“We demonstrate how to use the library’s home page, how to get

into a database, how to send a full-text article to their own email

accounts: the real nuts and bolts.”

We may sit in our

library and yet

be in all quarters

of the earth.

Message from the Dean

The UMass Dartmouth Library is not your mother’s library. Undoubtedly you’ve

noticed that the librarians don’t shush you much and there’s a television

monitor in the first floor lobby displaying campus messages or, when

appropriate, breaking news. The card catalogue is long gone and computers

are ubiquitous. These changes have been driven largely by technology, which

today shapes the way we choose and store information and the role of the

librarian in connecting the user with the information. We are no longer

worried about literacy; today we’re concerned about information literacy.

In the 20th century library we measured the institution by inputs and outputs:

number of dollars spent, number of volumes, number of square feet, number of

staff, number of circulations, number of attendees at programs, number of

teaching sessions. Today we add: the number of web site hits, number of multi-

site hits, number of electronic journals full-text, etc.

In addition, computers are facilitating other means of measuring library

effectiveness. For example, this spring we participated in LibQual+TM an

electronic survey of user satisfaction and habits. (See story to left.) Because

308 libraries participated in the same survey this year, we can compare our

results with those of peer and aspirant peer institutions; we can use the best

practices of libraries with high ratings where we are weak to improve our

performance. Also provided by the survey is information on user preferences

for research: in library use, Internet search of library web site, or other

gateways like Yahoo which will provide useful background information to the

librarians involved in library instruction. (See p. 1.)

The economic downturn severely affected the University of Massachusetts,

forcing all areas to reevaluate services, staffing, and resources. Unfortunately,

the Library lost four long-term temporary employees: Eleanor Lowe in

Information Services, Justin Maucione in PhotoGraphics, Juanita Baptista in

ILL, and Luann Viera in Cataloging. In addition Cynthia Marks retired from

Cataloging in December and Charles Chenard in A-V was out on disability for

much of the year. Elizabeth Lindsay, reference librarian, left the library at the

end of December to take a new position at the Washington State University

Libraries; Geri Cubbal has been hired to assume Lindsay’s responsibilities

temporarily until a permanent replacement can be recruited. The remaining

staff in Technical Services, PhotoGraphics, Information Services, and Access

Services is commended for maintaining service levels in such reduced

circumstances. One of the Library’s working premises has been that the

students and faculty of the institution have not created the fiscal problems

and should therefore not be penalized if at all possible. Consequently, key

services such as interlibrary loan have been maintained as close to previous

levels as possible.

Looking towards the library of the future, we find ourselves planning for both

the short- and long-term. The questions facing us and the university are more

complex than before. We can no longer assume that more books will fill the

shelves. What will the effect be of electronic books and journals? Can the

library be virtual and, if so, will a brick and mortar library still be needed? Will

we need more or less space? Will activities be solitary? In groups? Equipment

based? What resource types will be collected? In what proportion? What kind

of staff will work for the library? Where? With what skills? How will the library

respond to (already existing) conditions like: online programs, off-campus sites,

blended courses, e-courses?

As we debate these issues among ourselves and work with campus planners,

we will be seeking answers to these and other questions. Shelby Foote, author

of The Civil War: A Narrative (published 1958-1974) defined, “A university [as]

just a group of buildings gathered around a library.” It’s up to us now to define

that library for the future.

–Ann Montgomery Smith,

Dean of the Library

In spring 2003, the library conducted a survey of library users’

satisfaction and expectations using LibQUAL+™, a rigorously

tested web-based survey that helps libraries assess and improve

services, change organizational culture, and market the library.

More than two thousand individuals in the three main user

categories (undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty/staff)

were contacted by e-mail and asked to complete the web-based

survey. Of that number, 307 responded: enough to yield statistical-

ly significant results. More than one-third of the respondents also

added written comments.

Data from the survey will help library staff evaluate the library’s

operations and plan for the future. Areas of consideration include

access to information, service, the library as a place, and users’

personal control of resources and technologies. Dean of the

Library Ann Montgomery Smith said that the survey and the

subsequent strategizing will “foster a culture of excellence in

providing library service and help us better understand our users’

perceptions of service quality.”

Three hundred and eight academic libraries participated in

LibQUAL+™ this year, providing the opportunity for the library to

compare itself to institutions that are similar in size, funding and

mission.

For detailed information about the survey, contact Ann Montgom-

ery Smith at 508-999-8664. You can visit the LibQUAL+™ web

site at http://www.libqual.org.

Measuring library quality objectively

Cubbal noted that many in-

coming freshmen “have been

using web search engines since

they were very young,” so

librarians try to help them

“capitalize on the skills they

bring with them, and transfer

those skills in searching

the web to searching our

databases.”

“We try to help them start to

evaluate when to use a print

source such as a book, when a

journal article is a better

source, and when it’s appropri-

ate to use a web source.”

Once students advance to

second semester English (102),

class assignments require an

expanded set of searching

skills.

“Then we start teaching more

of the subtleties of the data-

bases, how to use database

features, how to search for an

article in a specific journal. The

databases have a lot of sophis-

ticated features for them to

use.”

Cubbal said that in the sopho-

more year, “the focus shifts

from basic skills to focusing

their skills in one subject or

discipline. Searching becomes

Brown Bag Lunch Series

The library once again sponsored the Brown Bag Lunch Series with

the Faculty Senate. This year’s programs included:

• Learning Communities, an emerging concept in higher

education that fosters a living-learning environment for

students. Panelists discussed a learning communities model

being tested at UMass Dartmouth;

• a program on African music that featured percussion

professor royal hartigan (pictured below) and students in

his African drumming and dance classes;

• Security, Iraq and the Politics of War, a balanced

discussion of the situation as we anticipated war, presented by

political science professor Kenneth L. Manning;

Interesting facts from the

library’s web page statistics:

April 2003 was the busiest month,

with 17% of the total requests.

Monday was the busiest day of the week,

with 19.5% of the requests.

The hour from noon to 1 p.m. was the busiest,

with 8.7% of the requests.

more specialized, depending on

the course or the major.”

Students begin to work with

reference librarians with partic-

ular subject specialties, and

gain a greater awareness of

the specialized databases

within their disciplines.

“They’re still trying to find out

where these things are in the

library, fitting a lot of puzzle

pieces together,” said Cubbal.

“When they put them all

together successfully, they have

very nice research projects.”

• German-American Relations: Partnership in Crisis,

presented by a special guest, the Honorable Rolf-Dieter F.

Schnelle (pictured at lectern above), Consul General of

Germany’s Consulate General in Boston;

• Reflections on U.S. Policy: Looking to the Future,

offered by professors Michael Baum, John Carroll and Kevin

Curow of the political science department;

• What you need to know about the Stock Market,

presented by economics professor Lew Dars.

almost twice as large as the

traditional reserve activity

figure of 11,778 requests,

yielding a grand total of

34,818 requests by students to

access materials placed on

reserve by their professors.

1,888,323

Number of successful online

requests to access the library’s

computer file server. From

those requests, there were

466,071 requests to view

pages within the library’s site.

The most popular page, of

course, was the library’s main

page, with 235,907 requests;

the next most popular was the

main reference page with

68,103 requests.

As part of the Division of Library Services, Information Resources

and Technology (LSIRT), the library’s staff members participated in

the planning and implementation of projects in the university’s

2002 bond initiative for Information Technology.

In a joint venture with Computing and Information Services (CITS),

staff members from the library’s Access Services department

equipped 10 large classrooms across campus to be “technology

classrooms,” each with a ceiling mounted projection system,

screen, sound system, document camera, VCR, DVD player,

personal computer, wireless keyboard, and two wireless micro-

phones. Access Services and CITS staff members provide ongoing

service to these classrooms and offer training to faculty members

in how to maximize the new technologies now available for

teaching.

The second-floor reference area now has twenty-one new

computer workstations that form a reference/instruction suite. The

suite can be temporarily partitioned from the rest of the reference

area and used for library instruction. It provides more flexibility for

reference/instruction librarians to present instruction sessions and

to provide “on-demand” instruction. A new computer workstation

and digital scanner enhance the ability of visually disabled library

users to access library resources.

The Mobile Computing Lending Program (MCLP) pilot project was

a success. A joint project between the library and CITS, MCLP

allows university community members to borrow laptop comput-

ers and portable projectors for use anywhere on campus. The

laptops take advantage of the campus’s wireless network, so that

borrowers can even sit outside and use a computer. A number of

repeat users were very pleased with the program, which continues

to operate at the Circulation Desk.

Implementing new information technologies

The library’s Photographics Department established a lending

program for digital cameras (DCLP) in the spring. Department staff

also provide photographic file downloading services for faculty and

students.

An integral part of the information technology initiative, the

Library Systems department supervised the installation of

Encompass and LinkFinderPlus, sophisticated software products

that make searching for library materials easier for the user. Library

Systems also provided specialized technical support for technology

related to other projects such as the new reference suite and a file

server for Photographics. As always, this department provides the

technical know-how that is the underpinning of almost every

aspect of the library’s diverse services.

Charlie McNeil, head of Library Systems, summed up the library’s

technology objectives: “The goal is to provide an ever more

seamless approach to accessing information and library services,

regardless of the source.”

The second floor reference/instruction suite is equipped

with twenty-one new computer workstations.

Students can work

wirelessly from

anywhere in the library.

Library Associates News

At their first program of the academic year, Library Associates’

president Dr. Mel Yoken presented the Associates’ gift of $4,000

to the Library. The October program featured author Robert

Coover, considered one of the leading writers of American

experimental fiction. Coover read from a number of his works,

including The Public Burning and The Universal Baseball

Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop.

In December, the Associates sponsored a holiday program with

guests Dr. Richard Ward, dean emeritus of the UMass Dartmouth

College of Business and Industry, and soprano Nancy Overlock. Dr.

Ward read passages from his book Grampas Are For All

Seasons and shared his reflections about the writing process. Ms.

Overlock entertained with a selection of holiday songs.

In the spring, the Associates once again sponsored an Antiques

and Books Appraisal Day featuring appraisers Duncan Gray of

Compass Rose Auctions and David Nelson of D.R. Nelson

Booksellers.

The group also offered an Evening of Mystery featuring best-

selling mystery authors Gary Braver, Hallie Ephron and Donald

Davidoff. The authors, all based in the Boston area, read from their

works, spoke about the writing process, answered questions from

the audience and signed books for their fans.

ScienceDirect

The library’s acquisition of the

ScienceDirect electronic

resource provides UMD faculty,

students and staff full-text,

online access to approximately

950 journals in the scientific,

medical and technical fields.

Titles are available online from

1998 forward, although some

titles go back to 1993.

The library collaborated with

the UMass Amherst and UMass

Boston libraries to purchase the

collection. The joint purchase

allows for the availability of

many more journals than

would be available through a

stand-alone purchase.

UMD Journal

Locator

The library’s new Journal

Locator is an online tool that

allows library users to find

full-text online, print and

micro-filmed journals within

the UMass Dartmouth print

and online electronic collec-

tions in a single search. Users

may search using a journal’s

title or use an alphabetical list

to browse for a journal or

magazine title.

New resources for teaching and learning

Although it focuses on the

sciences, ScienceDirect is multi-

disciplinary, with content in the

arts and humanities, business,

economics, nursing and the

social sciences with such

journals as Brain Research,

Journal of Archaeological

Science, Evolution and Human

Behavior, Art Psychotherapy

and Speech Communication.

Archives and Special Collections had an eventful year, from

assisting the Center for Jewish Culture with its oral history

programs to acquiring new materials for a variety of collections.

The Center for Jewish Culture’s oral history project focused on

women in the Jewish community, and culminated in an exhibition

based on collections of local Jewish women’s organizations

entitled “Celebrating Wise Women: Local Jewish Women and

Women’s Organizations.” The Center organized a fundraiser, which

netted about $5,000 for Archives improvements. The funds will be

used to transcribe oral history interviews and to purchase new

recording equipment. Acquisitions of records collections from the

Jewish community include the Lipp Family papers, the Brandeis

National Women’s Committee and the Jewish War Veterans Fall

River Post 168 and Ladies’ Auxiliary.

The Portuguese American archives saw the addition of the Baptista

family photograph albums. A local family of Madeiran descent, the

Baptistas ran Liberty Market in the South End of New Bedford for

many years. The Cape Verdean American Archives documentation

project continues, with more oral history interviews completed. We

also acquired our first collection from the Italian American

community of New Bedford, in the papers of Paul Vancini, a New

Bedford art teacher who was active in civic and Italian American

organizations.

Archivist Judy Farrar continues to work with retired design

professor Howard Glasser on the establishment of his archives

of folk music. He has already turned over his university Eisteddfod

material, and we are in the planning stages of making arrange-

ments to house his important collections of recordings of other

folk music events, as well as his many oral interviews

and recordings of folk musicians in the U.S. and Scotland.

University records acquired this past year include programs and

recordings from the Music Department, records of the Gerontology

Center, and the papers of the late Ora De Jesus, UMass Dartmouth

professor and the center’s founder.

In October, Archives assisted with the first annual Swain School of

Art reunion held on campus by presenting an exhibit tracing Swain

history through the decades. The exhibit was well received and

netted the archives many important alumni contacts. Archives also

presented an exhibit on Artists’ Books from Nexus Press, selections

from Special Collections on the third floor, and an exhibit of

selections from the Archives of the Center for Jewish Culture in the

Auditorium Gallery.

Moira Bowen, a Simmons College graduate student intern in

Archives Management, processed three collections: the Earle P.

Charlton Family Papers, the Milton Travers papers, and the João

Cordeiro, Jr. papers. For her spring semester project, Moira

catalogued 25 collections in Voyager, the library’s online catalog.

Archives assistant Pat Sikora continues to process the voluminous

records of the Office of News and Public Information, which

consist of press releases and virtually every newspaper clipping in

which the university has been featured, dating from the 1960s to

the present. She also spends considerable time on reference

questions, including those focusing on the RFK Assassination

Archives.

Other reference highlights included hosting a University of

Madeira graduate student for his research project on Madeiran

immigrants to the New Bedford area, who looked through

countless decades of the Diario de Noticias over a two-month

period. Another interesting project has been assisting with a cable

television documentary on the late Abraham Landau, a Holocaust

survivor whose papers are in the Archives. The collections know no

geographic boundaries, as we periodically provide copies of

records to a Norwegian researcher studying the controversy

surrounding the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

Finally, PSC 444, “Politics of Assassination,” taught by Professor

Philip Melanson, met in the archives during the fall semester.

Enrollment was higher than normal this year, and as always, we

assisted students in locating primary source materials for their

papers.

We would also like to thank the many individuals responsible for

these donations and others, including Martin Butler, Donna Huse,

Edith Swift, Cindy Yoken, Stan Lipp, Albert Hill, William Teixeira,

Joseph Baptista, Francis Sylvia Gracia, Fernandes E. Lopes, Mary

Beth Dowd, Rhoda Miller, Eli Heimberg, Lorraine Kaplan, Arline

Alpert, and David Rosenfield.
