A survey like this would establish some baselines, but the real need is to have a massive resource injection to allow for expansion (staffing and people, not so much physical), renovation and redesign (the whole get-up is JUST NOT INVITING), massive upgrade of electronically available resources and services, and INNOVATION -- we (qua URI Libraries) should be KNOWN for SOME UNIQUE DATABASES AND RESOURCES AND STRENGTHS, worldwide, and not just be "the library at URI"...! Users worldwide should "bookmark" us for these strengths.

I estimate that I access over 30% of the literature I need via interlibrary loan, and 50% through personal subscriptions I buy because the library doesn't have the journals I need. The latest round of subscription cuts will increase my dependence on inter-library loan. I spend thousands of dollars on books for myself and my graduate students because the library doesn't have what we need. I also find it extremely difficult to do literature searches because we do not have access to good indexes for the scientific, peer-reviewed literature. If it weren't for Google Scholar I'd be totally sunk. Our library may be adequate for undergraduate teaching, but it is a disgrace for a research university!

Although interlibrary loan is fairly quick, I was used to having access to more electronic journals as a graduate student (although that was a larger institution). I found this survey difficult to answer-- not used to three columns like that. I am not sure if my answers necessarily reflect how I really feel. Also, I said some things were important to me (quiet space, place for group work) b/c I think it should be available to the students. However, since I don't use these things as a faculty member my responses for the third column were pretty much a guess. Perhaps I should have said n/a for the whole question... Also, a lot of the questions (e.g., access to electronic resources) seemed rather redundant. There may have been subtle differences, but I missed them.

The sign at the library entrance requesting the cellphones be turned off is too small and generally ignored. Library staff members do not seem to be enforcing the rule.

The student employees at the checkout are a little less friendly. The library is clean and seems a great place to study, though the true benefit of the library these days is the online access it provides to peer-reviewed journal articles. Being able to access library holdings via Google Scholar is a key element of my dissertation research. I do wish that we had more subscriptions to ecological journals such as Biological Invasions.

However, I have not had nearly as good an experience with the some of the other reference staff. I think the school needs to implement a new service model for reference that doesn't allow for reference librarians to sit behind the desk looking frustrated, or acting dismissive if you ask them a question. I think creating an information commons environment in the library would cure a lot of the malaise and break the behind the desk, "point at things" trend in the URI library. I also think the physical space of the library is terribly out of date and depressing, and that there aren't enough places for serious quiet study. To try to get real work done I always go to the RISD library instead. URI's student population has outgrown the small library, there are loud laughing students everywhere. I understand the staff is working with very limited means, but the online tutorials and reference guides are abysmal, some are just loooonnnnggg word documents, and many are over ten years old. If you want information literate learners, you need up to date resources for them to review on their own.

The library has provided me with such a great resource during my time at URI and it was always extremely helpful to have such a comfortable environment to work in. Also, the group study rooms were great for finals week, and were a great place to find a quiet space for an effective study session. Thanks for getting me through my exams!

The people at the circulation desk are consistently efficient and friendly. The URILibrary buddy is a good idea. Short courses on information literacy, especially on how to use the online databases should be offered through MTS. The library should do more outreach, especially to continuing education students who have been out of the circuit for awhile. The graduate student population is especially in need of research instruction. Please replace the mice on all of the computers there with optical scroll mice...it is so frustrating not to have the ability to scroll. They are not an expensive item! The website could be more streamlined and the online tutorial needs revamping to be a bit more detailed with examples.

One problem that has occurred several times is not being notified when a reserve article comes in and then being notified it was sent back for non-retrieval! It would be an easy fix I think.

Sometimes I get annoyed that students use the library to socialize and are too loud. I'm also frustrated when I'm not able to access an electronic database for my work. We pay enough tuition that we should be able to utilize all of ebscohost, etc. Sometimes the print version of an article is available in the library; but, I live off-campus and need an electronic copy.

This is not appropriate for the library of a Research I institution. A priority must be made for access to electronic journals and current books and print periodicals, which has been severely cut in the past two years. Our needs as researchers have not changed and with an increase in emphasis on research productivity they will only increase - as they should. So, we might go elsewhere - to other libraries where we have access. This then decreases the perception of the need at URI. The need for electronic access and print resources, with the staff expertise to support these needs.

Archive of printed issues of important journals is incomplete. There are not enough textbooks for my needs in the library, I end up buying most of the things I need. The interlibrary loan takes a little too long and the loan periods are not the same. Close to midterms and finals it's almost impossible to find space in the library. The hours for access to the graduate study carrels make it impossible to leave important books there, what if you need to consult them on a sunday? Our lab students of classes such as anatomy don't find enough materials in the library. This survey was a little confusing to answer to.

Be nice to see the online catalog be a little simpler to use/navigate. Free black/white printing to a limited extent, something reasonable, more printers.

They deserve praise for doing a pretty good job of maintaining critical research functions in the face of utterly embarrassing levels of support from the university. I would hope an external review could largely support the staff while excoriating the university administrators and the state for the current state of affairs. Collection growth has essentially stopped, and while the library is great for researching ideas that were popular 20 years ago, the last ten have largely bypassed the state's flagship library. The layout and function of the library are circa 1990, when libraries were quiet spaces with a lot of books and a few computers. Modern campus libraries are a hub of campus activity, with collaborative technology, writing centers, tutors, reservable group work space, other student support services and cafes drawing students to inviting, flexible spaces for individual and group study--at almost all hours. URI largely lacks this sort of space, and as a result campus life--and our ability to attract and retain students--is significantly reduced. As a researcher, a decent subscription base for online journals helps me get by, though that list gets smaller every year, so the number of critical-to-me journals is falling. I've failed in finding key texts on newer ideas the last several times I have tried to find a book at the library.

I also feel as though the library has become a sort of hang out spot, rather than a quiet study area, and can often times find myself a better studying spot in a coffee shop in the area or in my house. Socializing is going to happen anywhere, but it doesn't feel as though there are true "quiet" areas dedicated anywhere in the library, nor is it enforced. Finally, there must be something done about cell phone policy. I really do not appreciate hearing an undergrad chat for an hour with their mom about what they've been eating all week, or telling their girlfriend, that yes, they really do love her. There is a time and place for cell phone calls, and the supposedly "quiet" library is not one of them.

Always so helpful, congenial, knowledgeable. The access to electronic journals, however, and print copies of these journals, leaves me wanting more. This is certainly a budgetary problem that should be addressed. If URI wants to be respected as a research institution (as it claims it does, in attempting to attract research funding from federal and other sources), it needs to have the resources in place to do so. More access to scientific publications! And please, but please, make it a little nicer of a place to study. Furniture that is comfortable counts for a lot. Hard wood chairs and the carrels just aren't cutting it. Makes me want to flee the library rather than stay and get work done.

Perhaps a system could be put in place similar to those with various reference books where taking the material out of the library will not be allowed, but at the very least all required information is available. I say this as a financially struggling student trying to cope with the high prices of required textbooks for my university courses that are not available in the library.

BUY a couple of color copiers. and a machine you can feed a bunch of stuff into to make duplicate copies. and i don't like copy cards, they dont work right. and what was up with those thefts last semester? during mid terms/finals, it'd be nice to have security on site in the building.

If I could combine them, I could utalize my money in a more efficient manner, and not be so wasteful. I feel as though someone is bennefitting from all the "free" money generated unfairly from each student who uses these cards. It is likened to being ripped off.

I like the overall layout of the library, and find it great to be able to run in and out to check email, or webct, or ecampus on the computers right in the main lobby. I like the 24 hour room for informal studying and I find that there's always a place for me to go if I need absolute silence for studying. I like how easy it is to print things, although I beleive the cost is WAY too high, considering the amount of pages I print on a weekly basis for labs, papers, and misc. I already pay so much in fees to URI and I find it absurd that I am paying additionally out of pocket to print things that are mandatory for class. Although not entirely up to the URI library system, I find it absurd and wrong that we are required to pay for hand outs that in years past were part of the course materials provided to us. I print roughly 40 pages/week and over the course of the semester pay $300+. Please revise this. Also, the bathrooms are always a mess, out of SOAP, and I never see anyone cleaning or restocking them. I beleive there needs to be more cleaning overall, and the library is a breeding ground for germs during the flu season. Otherwise, I have always been met with courteous and individualized attention from the Reference Desks, although some of the lab attendents are not as courteous or helpful, and often dismissive. Thank you, and I hope that my comments will help make the library a better place!

It is difficult to be competitive in research and grant proposals when we cannot access the journals that we need.

Very unfair to students @ CCE! We are already treated like second-class citizens because we are here and you are there! Who do you think you are? Don't we deserve the same treatment as students of the University of Rhode Island? The University just caters to the needs of Kingston when the student in the intercity is probably in more need!

Also, the kits in the curriculum resources library should all circulate as many times people who need them go out into the public schools and do not bring children to URI, and therefore it seems pointless, and a waste of money, to buy products and then restrict their use to only the library so people who would actually use them are not able to. For example, the curriculum resource library has several bingo games that would be suitable for use with elementary school students; however as I go into elementary schools and do not take the students to URI, I am not able to use that resource, and I honestly do not see how other students would be able to either as it is rare that the children come to the URI library.

It is intimidating for some users to approach the reference desk for research help. The library needs a renovation and more technology upstairs with group study rooms. The Curriculum Materials Library is a nice addition to the library with excellent service for faculty and students.

The library should better enforce quiet in these areas.

As a student working a the helpdesk, I have seen how few people are waiting at 10am on Saturday and how many are waiting at 1pm on Sunday (Upwards of 60 and many students leave because there is not enough tables in the 24 hour room). Taking hours from Friday night or Saturday morning and moving them to Sunday morning would result in a much greater utilization of library services without requiring the the library be open for more hours total. Also, library hours should be clearly posted on the glass door so that students know what time they will be opening.

The loss of Pell staff especially has had a significant impact on users. I came to GSO because it has a reputation as one of the strongest oceanography programs, and I think that these recent changes put us at a significant disadvantage in the quality of work we are able to produce. Not having access (electronic of otherwise) to journals in order to write scientific papers is a huge problem here. I understand that the budget requires some cuts on some fronts, but to cut services and people at Pell is a significant loss for the GSO community.

The new facility has the potential to be an excellent resource for the students and faculty of GSO, as well as URI as a whole. It will not however be able to fulfill this potential if not appropriately staffed, which means hiring a full-time librarian and appropriate support staff. It would be a shame for URI to have invested so much in the new building, but allow the Pell library to fall behind its current position of support for cutting-edge research.

We have been lucky to have excellent staff at this library that help greatly in allowing us to access essential resources for our research. Having shortened library hours has made this research more difficult. The staff reduction has also put a great deal on the plate of just one librarian, especially as the library is preparing to move to its new facility. GSO is a top-tier institution in the field of oceanography, yet the availability of library resources doesn't stand up to that of some smaller oceanography departments at other universities. In the long run, I believe the decrease in services at Pell library will slow the pace of research and learning at GSO.

Our facility used to be subpar, but the information available used to be excellent.

GSO is one of the top oceanographic schools in the country and brings significant amounts of grant money into the university system. This requires a fully staffed library!

For the benefit of all students, faculty and staff at GSO, I truly feel that Pell needs to be fully staffed. Currently the library does not open until 10:30am and closes early. This is not sufficient for a scientific graduate school library. The library is an essential part in maintaining the quality of research and education at GSO and I hope to be able to use it more often in the future. and without a fully functional library open for perhaps more hours than it currently is, in order to maintain the quality of research and education provided by URI/GSO.

It is open for only short periods of time and I find it closed at least half the time that I need to use it. There is only one person working there and doing the job of three people. The whole situation is very frustrating and makes me angry. Maybe because we're on a different campus, it's some sort of 'out of sight, out of mind' thing, but killing our library services is a pretty shitty thing to do and it makes me glad that I'm graduating and leaving. Our librarian is nice, helpful, and knowledgeable, but come on, she can only do so much. What kind of university library is only open from 10:30-6 and is closed on the weekends? It's pathetic.

The BEST thing about the library is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff... The WORST thing about the library is the availability of electronic journals; while I realize that electronic journal subscriptions may be expensive, they are by far the easiest and fastest way for me to access the information I need... and when given the option to subscribe to print vs. electronic versions of the same journal, I would ALWAYS recommend choosing the electronic version, which in the long run saves space (and money?) by not requiring the library to archive hard copies.

"Advanced search" should be available as an option on the first card catalog page. It now seems that a search has to fail before an advanced search can be conducted. Some searches also don't allow "ISSN/ISBN" to be selected as the search type. Scientific journals should be included in the catalog with their common abbreviations. (Some are but others aren't.) The electronic journal listings (such as in a list of electronically available journals) could have more person-friendly subpages. For example, there are many "Jo - Jo" pages, due to "Journal of Chemical Physics, Journal of Tasty Pies", etc. Better labels would recognize this content, such as "J of Ca" to "J of "Fr".

When I started my program, the library orientation was very helpful. I would have liked a class or two in the details of how to use the various databases since that was entirely new to me. Although I took them and looked them over, I found the handouts on databases available near reference were not be as useful as they could be. When I have been in the library it has been to ask the reference folks questions and they have always been most courteous and helpful. Other staff members have been helpful as well. As with most of us wanting things right away, it is frustrating when articles are only available through interlibrary loan - for a distance student, that just takes too much time and advanced planning. For materials that the instructor has put on reserve - my experience has been that since most in the class are also distance learners, it is easier if the prof. puts the material up on webct rather than us all competing in the hour or two before class to look at all the reserve materials. Lastly, I think it is essential that the library be comfortable, welcoming and provide places for group and individual study even though I do not work or meet in the library myself.

There are too many library users talking out loud either on the phone or with one another. Library is supposed to be a quiet space for reading and studying.

I find the level of service higher at PEll than the main campus library. 2) While most of the journals I would like access to are available online through URI Libraries, there are a couple of big issues. First, the services URI has to get to the journals are abysmal in their ease of use and search. While this is not all directly URI's fault, there must be a better way to do things. I often find the journal in other ways and then get the PDF though the library and sometimes I struggle to find the journal in the service listing to get the PDF from the site. Many journals are in different places depending on the years and so on. Second, while I am sure it cuts costs, a more enlightened approach to journal access on other campuses should be pursued. The faculty and staff should have access to all the journals subscribed to by all the RI State schools. In other words, faculty and staff and RIC, URI & CCRI should be in a pool tha can access all journals from all institutions. Then students should be in another pool and can be restricted based on cost/need decisions. Finally, the fact that we cannot get Science (and maybe Nature) for the first year of publication is just silly.

Yes, this is a small community, but having greater access to and support for this library is still very, very important. On a separate note, I am overall rather unimpressed with the electronic resources (i.e. journal access). Often, I cannot access an article from a fairly common journal in my field because the library (a) does not have a subscription or (b) only has access to the most recent few years. I know the University is in a huge budget crunch and if given a choice, I would prefer more library staff at Pell, but please do not forget this other very important aspect.

The old Pell library left something to be desired in terms of facilities but the new library building should solve those problems. Electronic resources fall far short of what is needed for research and proposal preparation--too many journals are unavailable or not available for long enough time periods (either too recent or beyond a few yrs back). A week-long wait for interlibrary loan is not acceptable for proposal preparation. Communication between Pell and main campus libraries is difficult with regard to teaching classes on the main campus and course reserves of books physically present at Pell. I find the main campus library unappealing, often dirty and noisy in common areas. It would be nice to be able to use GSO (Pell) copy cards in the main campus library. It would be nice to have scanners (with pdf software) available at Pell and color printers (even for a fee).

How would librarians demonstrate "caring"? It isn't a value I would even look for or know how to measure (short of donuts and massages at the circ desk), so I've focused on issues like competent staffing, accessibility, and resources. In these areas, the vast majority of library staff I've dealt with do a good to excellent job with the resources available, of which I am very appreciative. Most failures have to do with limited resources - cancelled subscriptions, etc., - which are a larger problem unrelated to staff's considerable competence.

Sometimes, it gets a bit noisy outdoors by the window (street) or near the desk, but that can't be helped. At Kingston, I went in this week for the first time. I had to ask about how to find my way. I didn't walk all the way through, but went straight to my research section, which took me a while to find. I had to wander around the stacks a few times before I found the HQ section. I always look for quieter places - sometimes I want a table and sometimes I want a comfortable chair with a coffee table next to it. There was a lot of discussion by students as they worked at tables on the second floor, but it was not disturbing. They kept the volume down as they worked and talked, and I appreciate that. I was impressed with the number of books on aging and related gerontological topics.

Today world is just about electronic, this way you need less employee, less trouble and better service. Buy the PDF version of books and put it on website, this way nobody needs to worry that somebody else got the book and everybody can access the web through your online system.

They are always willing to give as much help as you need - usually more than you expect or ask for. I find the access to digital information somewhat limited, especially from off-site.

I asked at two places for change for a $20 bill so that I could make the copies I needed for class: the 24 hour room, and the front desk. The folks at the 24 hour room said, "No, we aren't allowed to make change," and even when I offered to buy a small item, they refused. I thought that was outrageous at the time and I still think that it is. The lady at the front desk was much nicer about the fact, but still could not provide any sort of solution. Give the staff a change box, please. Other than that, I love the library. Thanks for doing such a good job.

Sometimes, when I am downstairs, and I look at the less the attractive honeycomb ceiling I feel as if I am in some hulking aging space craft. All that concert feels very cold, and gets grimly . Sometimes I even think it develops a strange oder. The Lounge area is nice and sunny but really shabby. Sometimes, I want to eat lunch in your lounge, but I wish it looked nicer because I don't like to eat in a dive. I like your coffee bar and all the nice tea you serve. What's really important is I what more access to more journal articles about librarianship, like more back issues. Gas is so expensive now,I need to access articles from home as much as I can. Also lots of students smoke near the courtyard. Patrons don't want to smell their smoke upon entering.

The staff usually attempts to help with an ILL if I can't access an article electronically, but sometimes that article still can't be retrieved with an ILL.

The library's online journal archives in terms of both years available and individual journals available cause delays in my research.
