The LSTA grant will allow us to use the information technology services and increase the efficiency and productivity of the librarian. Bookmobile use by Spanish speaking people and requests for Spanish language materials have greatly increased this year in Carbon County. The Bookmobile has no bilingual materials and would like to purchase a core collection. The College of Eastern Utah is seeking to fulfill one of its goals by making better use of the computer lab located in the library. With the purchase of a multi-media projector and four new computers, library instruction can be taught in a room where the door can be closed rather than at the reference computers in the middle of the main floor of the library.
Students can study without interruption or loud voices breaking into their thoughts.
The goal of this project is to improve access to electronic health education materials in multiple languages. The Utah Department of Health has developed 200 health education brochures in 15 different languages. The Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library is committed to serving all members of our community and to enhancing access to library resources and materials. The Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library is currently overseeing the development of an Electronic Spanish Patient Education Project funded by the National Library of Medicine. In order to achieve this goal, President Millard Fillmore Library will enhance its current circulation program providing remote patron access.
