Part Time Library Faculty is available on a regular and on-call basis. Primary assignments are for evening hours and weekends, backfill for
Head Librarian (.2), Intersessions, and Summer Sessions. FT Faculty can volunteer for these assignments as Extra Service, but not part of
their regular contractual assignment.
If not filled library open hours would be restricted to day-time and M-F only. The library, as required in Title 5, must be open during class
times and without P.T Librarians this would be impossible to do outside of the regular semester.

Narration – Staffing



Hire of retired Library Technician (Cataloging/Processing)
is crucial to maintain good level of service providing resources
to students.
P.T. Library Faculty are primarily scheduled in the evenings,
weekends, Intersessions, and Summer Sessions. Additional
staffing or extra service, or additional funding for P.T. hours, is
needed for expansion of orientations, workshops, or other library
instruction if offered outside of the regular academic year.

Extra services cost for Summer instruction would be
minimal. For example for 4 hrs of instruction per week with 4
hrs of preparation the cost for the average Intersession would be
under $1,000. Cost for a summer session would average about
$3,000. for similar hours.

Total budget for all extra session last year ran about $18,642
(staffing and supplies) of additional funds not included in our
regular budget allocation.
V. Qualitative Assessments
CTE and Vocational: PCCD Libraries are not
currently included in analysis of community
and labor market relevance evidence of
community need based on Advisory Committee
input, industry need data, McIntyre
Environmental Scan, McKinsey Economic
Report, etc.
Due to lack of district statistical support and
services, library-related statistics are managed
and collected by COA librarians with support
district researcher. Librarians have conducted
some local research included here as well as
Stable, consistent budget for minimum library services is
needed. Current level of services and resources, while
improved due to Measure A funding, remain below standards
for our students. Faculty and staff provide an excellent service
and instruction within very limited financial constraints.
Narrative
Studies from several California Community Colleges, such as
that prepared by Glendale Community College, have shown
instruction in Information Literacy/Competency increases student
GPA, persistence, the number of units they complete, and their
performance in individual classes.” i
This is demonstrated by our own data collected here at COA. The
Academic Senate for California Community Colleges continues
to reaffirm its support for information competency for AA
degrees. This body also continues to recommend that IC/IL be a
graduation requirement. ii The COA and Peralta Librarians, with
the support of the Chancellor, continue to pursue the concept of
4
Peralta Community College District – LIS85 & Library Program and Service Needs
state library statistics, results and conclusions
creating an information competency requirement at Peralta.
See 2009-10 Findings and Analyses Report on
the Library Homepage/Handouts.*
As indicated by the statistical charts below and attached
appendices, the Library is showing increase demand in its
instructional programs and service areas.
Demand for instruction increased 25% in 2008-09 with a similar
increase in students attending 2009-10. We believe this is directly
related to increased outreach to faculty via the Course Outline
approval system and individual consultations with faculty.
However, lost of evening open hours also resulted in several
instructors not bringing their classes to the library resulting in
decreased number of class sessions Increased instruction
(whether students attending or sessions) also stimulates more
productive use of Reference instruction.
Embedding library instruction into specific courses also aids
effectiveness and means of assessment and analysis. See
previous Unit Plan & Program Review for recent experiment with
Eng. 1A classes.
\
Also significant was the funding of library instruction during the
summer semesters. Increase in use of the print collection (checkout and in-house use) may be tied to the updating of library
collections, the new materials purchased, and the reliance of
students on the reserve collection (due to increase in textbook
costs).

V. Basic Skills
Components:
Students attending instructional sessions increased
by 17% in 2009-10.
Offering LIS 85 Online consistently since Summer
2008
Offered Summer Instruction for third year.
Increase in Textbook Reserve transactions by 48%
from previous year
Increased student learning in online research spurred
200% increase in database usage
Information Literacy as a Basic Skill: See detailed narrative rationale for
inclusion of information literacy as a basic study skill in 2007-08 Unit Plan.iii. The
library has either already integrated, or is exploring instructional practices that
relate to those listed for programs in the Basic Skills Initiative (section D1-D10)
including:

Basic Skills via library assignments
Orientations and workshop are presented in a highly structured
environment physically in the library to orient student to facilities and
resources;
Works with English basic skills, ESL, DSPS, other student success, basic
skills and learning community programs, instructors sharing and
developing library instruction and resources for student in these programs;
the library has created a new special collection for ESL materials and
purchased recommended resources for EMOJA, APASS, and
ADELANTE
Has begun a series of assessment tests to help access instruction and
monitor student performance including: bibliographic assignments, critical
thinking assignments – “What is your assignment?” What is the research
process?” “Assignment topic as search strategy.” Pre/post tests.
At COA, librarians attend Basic Skills workshops and keep undated
concerning the Basic Skills & Student Success/ Enrollment Management
Committee.
VI. Strategic Planning Goals
Advance Student Access, Success &
Equity
Engage our communities and Partners
Build Programs of Distinction
Create a Culture of Innovation and
Collaboration
Develop Resources to Advance and
Sustain Mission
The Library supports all these Strategic Planning Goals that meet
the educational needs of its multicultural and diverse community by
emphasizing the teaching of library research and information
literacy (LIS85, LIS500 & other Instructional Sessions, by
acquiring a current, authoritative, and appropriate collection of
resources through research and collaboration with instructional
faculty in order to serve this community and provide the basic
resources necessary for programs of distinction, including our
specialized “learning communities” and to advance and sustain the
college’s mission.
The library strives to provide excellent, comprehensive and flexible
services, resources, and programs that embrace a range from
introductory and basic research skills to more advanced information
literacy skills. In this way the library can help prepare and
empower all students for further education and occupational goals.
By insisting on a vision of a teaching-centered library, librarians
support the college goals in using, traditional individual, as well as
newer team, or group oriented teaching methodologies to train
student as innovative seekers of knowledge. Through the processes
of learning how to access library services, one-on-one reference, or
classroom instruction, library faculty assists the college’s goal by
teaching students how to seek, evaluate information, as well as
communicate effectively and efficiently.
The library also support the college’s Goals and Objectives for
6
Peralta Community College District – LIS85 & Library Program and Service Needs
Improvement, 2003-05 by assisting in the development of student
learning outcomes at library course and program levels that will be
used across disciplines. The library assists the college in other
goals such as improving student persistence, retention and
completion rates and increasing student success. This assistance is
needed especially for at-risk students and can be achieved
throughout the college by promoting clearer lines of
communication, more stable student services and staff, and respect
and civility between faculty, staff, students.
VII. College Strategic Plan
Relevance
New Program Under Development
Program that is integral to your college’s
overall strategy
Program that is essential for transfer
Program that serves a community niche
Programs where student enrollment or
success has been demonstrably affected
by extraordinary external factors, such as
barriers due to housing, employment,
childcare, etc.
Library services and instructional programs strive to provide basic
informational resources to support the whole college curriculum.
This is especially true for the development of new programs/subject
areas that come to the attention of librarian via the course
development process at the college and result in developing library
collections in new directions.
Library services and programs are essential to the colleges strategy
and are mandated by Title V
The LIS85 Introduction to Library Information Studies prepares all
students with essential skill necessary in our 21st century
information society. This course is transferable to CSU and fulfills a
basic requirement. Contemporary employers expect a basic
knowledge of critical search for information, evaluation of
information, and presenting the results of research to colleagues.
