| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Orange Connect is set up for librarian reference. A tablet kiosk is being proposed at each campus library to encourage student use of Orange Connect. The kiosk would be used to log students into Orange Connect to enter their library sessions when students drop into the library’s reference desk to ask questions. This will improve the tracking of reference interactions that are currently unrecorded. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Continued disuse of Orange Connect for library reference. Orange Connect is a powerful tool that is being underutilized by faculty and students. Tracking student use of the library will allow librarians and staff to more effectively direct their efforts to help students. A great amount of time and effort has gone into setting up Orange Connect for library reference. |
