From The Libraries
As part of the recent redefinition effort (see previous From the Libraries column, "Transforming Public Services: New Directions for the MIT Libraries", May/June 1999) the Libraries have established a series of library-wide staff groups to focus on improving services to specific constituencies. The group specifically addressing service to the faculty is led by Theresa Tobin, head of the Humanities Library (tat@mit.edu, x3-5674). Members of the group are: Deborah Helman, Barker; Erja Kajosalo, Science; Anita Perkins, Dewey; and Katy Poole, Rotch Visual Collections.
A survey of the faculty has recently been conducted; results are being evaluated and library staff are exploring ways in which the MIT Libraries can better serve faculty needs. Interactive access to the survey is available at http://libraries.mit.edu/rvc/fug. Tobin and all members of the group are eager to hear from faculty members with their thoughts regarding the Libraries.
