| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | To increase library hours and services, and to support existing library initiatives, we need to add full-time library clerical staff in Newburgh. The Newburgh Branch library is currently staffed with 1 full-time librarian, 1 half time librarian and 1 fourteen hour per week auxiliary clerk. This level of staffing is not adequate to operate a circulating library as we are unable to staff the service desk beyond 14 hours per week. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Inability for library hours to keep pace with student need, inability of professional librarians to expand library instruction and information literacy initiatives, and reference services. In the library, clerical staff are responsible for circulation of library materials, shelving and maintaining collection order, processing interlibrary loans of materials between campuses and beyond, and clerical support needs such as answering the telephone. All of which are essential service activities. |
