Document delivery services are extremely important to our users. As a library system, we need to clarify these services for them. Users are confused by our multiple document delivery services. On the issue of photocopying for ILL, the Science Library staff can not continue to subsidize this operation. We are often incapable of supplying ILL's needs in a timely enough manner for them to operate efficiently and effectively.
Users expect to find material as indicated by the online catalog.
Reshelving, shelf reading, weeding and shifting of materials needs to be regularly performed. Technical services activities which ensure an online catalog as accurate as possible are also critical to user self-sufficiency. The online catalog must reflect accurate library holdings and locations. Accurate serials holdings and accurate storage facility holdings requires some type of shelf-list maintenance at the Science Branches. The science and engineering disciplines are heavily dependent upon serials and journals.
