Academic Library Service Models in British Columbia : A Report for Practitioners Sobol, Barbara
Abstract
"The purpose of this report is to offer a baseline of how front-line library services are being delivered in BC as a means of facilitating discussion and decision-making. I have come to understand that the work that we do in public view primarily fits into two categories: transactional and complex. Both types of work are essential to supporting our campus constituents. How best to design spaces for both types of work as well as who should deliver them are not questions with clear answers. Throughout BC, there are three main types of post secondary institution: college/polytechnic, teaching university, and research university. These distinctions came through in the survey data, but less frequently than one might expect. The same service models are in use across all types of institution, and libraries hold remarkably similar roles on our various campuses" -- page 3.
