Aligning Copley Library Services with USD’s Mission

Copley Library continued moving forward during the 2017-18 academic year, further aligning our services with the university’s mission. Having a 21 st century library building is essential to serving faculty and students; accordingly, a group of stakeholders and I spent this past year engaged in library renovation work, especially working with Pfeiffer architects on the schematic design process. Additionally, Copley hosted a variety of events, such as the fifth anniversary of the Digital Initiative Symposium, the Black Women in NASA program, outreach and tours with several local schools. Also noteworthy were the 13 USD faculty members who were featured with their favorite book for Banned Books Week as well as our salute to National Library Week. Chat reference, our online reference system upgrade, was a huge success. Moreover, the library experienced significant growth in our information literacy program and with incorporating instruction into first year writing classes. We are most proud of the article in this annual report featuring two library student assistants, Edward Fisher and Elisenda Guerra Delgado, who presented at this year’s Creative Collaboration Research Conference. Library faculty research is spotlighted as well. Readers will also find data that provides a snapshot of the library’s services and budget. And don’t forget our development page. We are seeking donors to contribute to the library’s renovation and name spaces within the building which is expected to be completed by October 2020.

New School Tours and Outreach Activities

This year, Copley added tours for community high schools and middle schools to our list of outreach activities. In November, librarian Christopher Marcum welcomed a group of more than 30 high school seniors from Magnolia High School in Anaheim, California, for a tour of Copley Library and a brief presenta tion on the services and resources provided to USD students. In March, Marcum also hosted a group of students from San Diego’s High Tech Middle School. All students from each visit left with some Copley swag and hopefully a little extra motivation to consider USD when it is their time to apply to college. All of our faculty and staff had fun engaging with the young students and look forward to leading more tours in the years to come. Other outreach activities of note included our weeklong celebration of Banned Books Week last fall, as well as our Movie Night and Food Drive, Faculty Favorites Book Display and our Study Break on the Lawn events. We look forward to another great year of collaboration and want to thank all of our outreach partners on campus.

Black Women of NASA Event Draws Crowd to Copley

Working together to collaborate on a joint community program to celebrate Black History month, San Diego Public Library and USD welcomed Duchess Harris, PhD, for a discussion about black women who worked at NASA in the 1940s. Dr. Harris is the chair of the American Studies department at Macalester College and author of Hidden Human Computers: The Black Women of NASA . Her grand mother, Miriam Mann, was one of the 11 black women “human computers” at NASA. This incredible story received international attention after the Hollywood film adaptation, Hidden Figures , was released to great critical acclaim in 2016.

The role of these women as “human computers” was to check the math of the male engineers. As Harris made clear, “if you can check the math, you can probably do the math.” It was not until the 1960s that women were able to join the ranks of engineers. The SDPL’s auditorium event attracted more than 150 people on February 24; 200 students, faculty, staff and community members filled Copley Library’s Mother Hill Reading Room on February 26. Harris’ lecture truly brought the university and San Diego communities together on the mesa.

Faculty Favorites Book Display for National Library Week

This year marked the 60 th anniversary of National Library Week, a nation wide observance to promote library use and support. Copley celebrated the week of April 8-14 with a Faculty Favorites book display on the main floor. Thirteen USD faculty members shared their favorite titles along with a photo and a quote explaining their choice. The display also included a space for those visiting Copley to share their favorites and more than 25 students, faculty and staff joined. Visit Copley Library’s blog to see photos of all of USD’s faculty favorites and read more.

Black History Month Collaboration

Over several days in late January and early February 2018, four Copley librarians, Martha Adkins, Hugh Burkhart, Christopher Marcum and Alejandra Nann, visited three San Diego area public schools to assist teachers in preparing their students to write essays for the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority’s annual Black History Essay Contest. Hugh Burkhart and Alejandra Nann visited three 11th-grade classes at Sweetwater High School; Martha Adkins and Christopher Marcum visited one class of 8th-graders at Correia Middle School and two classes of 11th graders at Morse High School. The librarians offered basic information on literacy instruction, focusing on moving from the essay prompt to an argument statement, identifying and selecting credible sources and the importance of citing sources. Students were very enthusiastic

about the essay assignment, which encouraged them to write about an African-American and his or her impact on American history. They were eager to share their thoughts on credible sources and what they had learned about their essay topics. Copley librarians look forward to collaborating with educators in the San Diego area in the future to help prepare tomorrow’s scholars, and undoubtedly, some future Toreros.

Copley Joins Online Archive of California

Early in 2018, the Online Archive of California (OAC) invited Copley Library’s Department of Archives, Special Collections and Digital Initiatives to be come a contributing member to its statewide online repository. By spring, we had officially joined more than 200 California member institutions comprised of libraries, special collections, archives, historical societies and museums. Most importantly, we had begun to actively contribute guides describing our archival collections to the OAC. The Online Archive of California is a free service of the California Digital Library administered by the Regents of the University of California. It focuses on providing an easy way to discover finding aids (detailed guides to archival collections) from a variety of California institutions. Its mission is to encourage the use of the primary source material these finding aids describe. So far, the Online Archive of California contains more than 20,000 finding aids and more than 220,000 digital images, and that number is growing! We are pleased to work with the OAC and, in doing so, hope to encourage research of USD’s unique contributions to California history.

Archives/Special Collections Update

This past year brought us new collections and better access to established collections. The Spirit within the California Missions by photographer Craig Alan Huber, a limited edition fine press book (pictured), was added to the library’s rare book collection through the generous gift of Camille McCormack, a former USD student. New archival collections include records from USD’s Ethnic Studies Department, Alumni Relations, Student Life and Student Affairs; Father William Headley’s papers, which document the founding of the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies; trophies from USD’s participation in San Diego’s Martin Luther King, Jr. parades; and former coach John Martin’s collection of USD athletic memorabilia. Finding Aids which provide detailed descriptions of our processed archival collec tions are now available online not only through Digital USD, but also through the Online Archive of California. Our media digitization project has preserved more than 930 videos documenting USD in the news. Videos include interviews with past USD

Textbook Accessibility Task force

For the past two years, the Textbook Accessibility Task Force, a diverse group of USD faculty, staff, administrators and students, met throughout the academic year to discuss strategies for dealing with the high cost of textbooks, which is a national crisis. The task force is charged with develop ing a plan for enacting access and inclusion with course materials. The task force endeavors to identify and implement multiple methods to reduce the cost of purchasing textbooks and other course materials by students at the university. The task force seeks to educate and inform faculty about alterna tive methods of identifying course materials, such as digital, looseleaf, used textbooks, library books and databases, course packs, rental options, open educational resources (OERs), textbooks with access codes and other publishers’ textbook packages. The Associated Students’Textbook Reserve program was born out of this group. The task force talks about publishers’ predatory textbook practices, the benefits and savings from OERs, and compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. The task force encourages faculty to submit course materials by the March 1 and October 1 deadlines. Early adoption of textbooks by faculty assists the Torero Store with keeping textbook prices low. The Torero Store’s personnel are an integral part of the task force, and we work closely with them to find the most affordable course materials to assist students in reducing their financial burden.

Textbook Reserve Program Partnership

The Associated Students’Textbook Reserve program (AS Textbook Reserve) was piloted in the 2017-18 academic year with a collection of more than 120 textbooks, which resulted in 1,673 successful checkouts. Textbook Reserve is meant to serve as a resource for our students when accessibility of a textbook in the classroom is needed. The reserve is convenient in cases in which a student leaves their textbook at home yet needs it for an assignment. The AS Textbook Reserve is even more necessary for students who may not have access to required course textbooks due to affordability issues. Associated Students believe that every student should have equal opportunity in the classroom and that the high costs of textbooks should never be a factor in students’ performance and engagement in the classroom. Textbook Reserve allows undergraduate students to check out textbooks costing more than $100 for courses with two or more sections. These textbooks are available for checkout for up to two hours with the opportunity to renew.

2017-18 Associated Students President Will Tate ’18.

The process is simple. Students provide the author, title, or ISBN to any Library Access Services employee and, if the book is available, they will be able to check the textbook out. Associated Students is thankful for the partnership with Copley Library for housing the reserve and for Auxiliary Services, who work with us to purchase the needed textbooks for our students.

Copley Library Supports Open Education

Open Education is the act of creating and sharing educational resources and tools freely to the public. Since 2015, Copley Library has taken strides to partake in the open movement. In addition to Copley’s current initiative to collaborate with faculty on finding and reviewing open educational resources (OER) through the Copley Library OER Initiative and the Open Textbook Review, there was a need to include students in the ongoing conversations about the high cost of textbooks. Copley Library participated in Open Education Week from March 5-9, 2018. That Monday, Copley held an OE Selfie event in front of the library during the

lunch hour. We asked students the total amount they spent on textbooks that year and what they would have spent their money on, if they had not had to purchase textbooks. Students wrote their responses on small whiteboards and took pictures with them. We asked students to use those pictures or take an additional selfie to post on their social media pages using the hashtag “textbookbroke.” This event was an opportunity for Copley to talk to more than 40 students about open educational resources and provide more information about the movement to spread awareness about open text, media and other digital material for education and research.

Ogburn (Digital Strategies and Partnerships Librarian at Appalachian State University) – whose remarks on scholarly communication and digital literacy were met with responses from Allegra Swift (UCSD) and Emma Molls (University of Minnesota).

Attendees from around the world gathered at USD for the fifth annual Digital Initiatives Symposium.

• Five 15-minute “TED-Style Talks,” delivered by presenters from several institutions.

• A collaborative closing keynote address that examined the crossroads of information literacy and scholarly communications.

In her symposium address at the opening reception, Vice President and Provost Gail F.

2017-18 Print Lending and Borrowing by State

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a partnership between libraries around the world that allows library patrons to access materials outside their home institution’s collection. Copley Library both borrows items on behalf of our patrons (stu dents, faculty and staff) and loans titles from our collection to other libraries. In many cases, interlibrary loan materials are rare and discipline-specific that would otherwise be unavailable to library patrons. These maps represent the total number of print items borrowed from and loaned to other institutions during the last fiscal year, grouped by U.S. state.
