Means of communication Ave. Asking the whole community about the usefulness of specific journals that are relevant to only a few does not provide enough useful information to make decisions about keeping or canceling a journal. Titles listed that are not owned by the Library will be considered for acquisition in context of all other requests and budgetary constraints. Although the campus community did not rate the library liaison program highly, experience in other libraries has shown the program to be a very effective way to promote communication between the library and departments. Liaisons can visit departments to review the OHSU journal collection, to discuss electronic library resources, and share other information that would increase the effectiveness and productivity of the department.
Faculty can contact their liaison with questions they have about library collections and services.
Members of the OHSU Library staff who participated in developing the survey, analyzing the results, and writing the report include Cindy Cunningham, Diane Carroll, Julie Cook, Dolores Judkins, James Morgan, Judith Norton, Laura Zeigen, and Carrie Willman.
