MaLT Revised Charge

 

March 2015September 2011

The MaLT group will provide leadership for identifying and coordinating the implementation of new technology based services relevant to the library, especially those involving emerging technologies aimed at addressing patrons’ needs outside of the classroom for technologies, spaces, and services for learning and/or for using devices other than traditional computers.

  • Evaluate the use and usefulness of existing technology, software and space in the public areas of the library. This includes the Bissett collaborative center, group study rooms, public computing spaces, general study areas, the AV production room, and Mann’s publically publicly accessible seminar rooms (100, 102, 160). Recommendations for these spaces can include new types of devices/services available for check out at the circulation desk or available from the computer operator computing help desk.
    The group should choose
    1. Choose a priority space/area , technology or issue (i.e. needs for collaborative work) for each academic year and focus their efforts on that location, technology or issue. Within this context determine user behavior and needs and assess the potential usefulness of emerging technologies.
    2. Prepare annual report in April with general recommendations, including trends and anticipated needs, and requests for equipment (additional requests can be submitted as needed throughout the year).
    2. At the close of each academic year (June) present your  findings  at a roundtable presentation; this should include a review of technologies for the space in question, the results of user studies undertaken, and any hands on training that may be appropriate for staff
    1. Report will be submitted to Mann Council in June.
    2. Make recommendations for library space(s) under investigation during the academic year
    3. using the Horizon Report model, i.e. what Mann needs in 1 year, 2-3 years, and 4-5 years
    1. ; outline short term and long term Mann needs.
  • Coordinate with other Mann Divisions, Mann groups ( PAC, AV, ITSCUL committees (i.e. PTAC), CU groups outside the library, and any other appropriate staff for implementation of recommendations.
    1. Once approvals for equipment have been made, seek out appropriate groups to aid in implementation.
