Library Services Strategic Plan, 2011-2015

Implement means of collaboration between the Research Assistance Desk (RAD) and the Writing Center that is to be relocated to the library sometime in 2012
Transition from an information commons model to a learning commons
Seek ways to infuse information literacy instruction into the curriculum using BRAVO student learning outcomes as appropriate
Continue to measure library-related student learning outcomes

Library facility improvements - implement the existing plan to add a seminar room, space for a writing center, and a coffee shop; if funding is available, make improvements such as new paint and carpet on the 1st and 3rd floors
Use technology to simplify and streamline access to information resources, e.g., continue to refine the Encore Synergy content and discovery tool, and provide additional information resources via mobile technology
Improve library services to populations away from the main campus, including the Fort Campbell Center, Springfield, Dickson, and online
Increase external fundraising efforts
- Write at least one external grant proposal each year; get at least two funded for the period 2011-2015
- Build on the initial success of the Woodward Library Society (friends of the library); increase membership by at least 20%

Reduce costs and utilize space more efficiently by reducing the number of journal print subscriptions and government documents that are duplicated by online equivalents
Utilize technology to provide services and resources to off-campus students - e.g., using Camtasia software to develop mini-tutorials about library resources
Improve communication, both internally and with external constituencies and stakeholders
