The use of flat screen monitors will capture valuable desk space, which is crucial in the student areas. Also see IT major project plan – 2005 The department has lost one full-time librarian through retirement and until fall 2005 received funds to hire adjunct to cover some of the vital functions of this position. As information competency courses and plans evolve there is an even more crucial need for well-trained reference support for our students. Replacement of the ADA station is crucial for our services to students with special needs. There are over 200 students that have gone through disability training and many hundred more potential users. The hardware and software at this stations allows access to the full range of library electronic resources and the special ADA software such as JAWS, Kurzweill 300, and Zoom Text. The district libraries are planning to jointly purchase this vibrant collection for access by all students, especially important for distance learners. The LRC promotes its collections and services through book lists, e-mail, web pages, publications, book displays, orientations, and other media. Promotion of Information Competency programs and service to the outreach centers has increased this need. These are costs for posters, display supplies, and printing.
