  3. 3. Executive Summary Kansas State University (K-State) located in Manhattan, Kansas, serves a populationof over 23,000 students from all 50 states and more than 90 countries. The university has alibrary system that includes the main campus library as well as specialized libraries in thefields of Architecture, Engineering, Math, and Veterinary Medicine. Within the past year the K-State library system has completed the final steps of amulti-year reorganization project designed to align the library system more closely withcurrent and future trends in technology and educational delivery systems. Thisrealignment effort created four separate divisions within the library system:  The Content Management Scholarly Communications Division Contains such things as the functional aspect of collection development, interlibrary loan, metadata and digital development.  The Research, Education, and Engagement Division Arranged by academic level rather than discipline with categories for undergraduate/community service, graduate/faculty and archives/special collections.  The Administrative and IT Services Division Contains technology, financial, human resources and building services.  The Assessment and Public Relations Division Handles matters related to events and exhibits as well as external communication and research and development support. Hale Library as the main campus library is the site of much of the activity within thelibrary system and as such must be designed to provide the maximum amount of servicepossible to all students and faculty members. With this in mind the library help desk wasredesigned to replace the multiple access points that were previously used to delivervarious services throughout the library. Services such as interlibrary loan, circulation,reference and reserve requests that were previously handled at separate locations withinthe library have all been consolidated into a single help desk location. Another redesignproject to completely reconfigure the 2nd floor InfoCommons area is currently in progresswith an anticipated completion date of summer 2011. The Purple Academics committee has established the following priorities to beaddressed by the strategic plan we are proposing:  Priority A: Careful stewardship of resources  Priority B: Enhanced systems to ensure user success in library  Priority C: Collaborative partnerships across the university based on analysis of environment and innovative approaches to critical inquiry and knowledge production. SLIM LI 805 3
  4. 4. The committee is attempting with this plan to more closely align the K-Statelibraries with the service deliver options required to provide competitive services to allstudents, staff and faculty members. Introduction The expectations of university library users are changing rapidly along with theirlevel of technological competence. Added to this is the rising cost of maintaining printcollections and subscriptions. For these reasons it is becoming imperative that universitylibraries investigate fully the possibilities of digital materials in regards to collectiondevelopment and maintenance.The OrganizationThe K-State libraries are organized into four separate divisions. A complete organizationalchart is included. (Table 2, Appendix)VisionWe aspire to be a leading intellectual and learning environment that anticipates andcreatively fulfills the needs of our communities by funding, acquiring, and organizing adiverse array of resources and providing personalized expert assistance.ValuesWe respect and protect the right to explore all points of view and the right to privacy. Weencourage interaction with any individual or group and treat all people with respect,dignity, and courtesy. We consider many viewpoints before making decisions andencourage creativity, risk-taking, and innovation. We spend our money wisely and in waysthat afford the broadest benefit to our users. We create an environment that promotesongoing learning for ourselves and our users. SLIM LI 805 4
  5. 5. MissionWe guide our community in its quest for intellectual discovery and lifelong learning. Weadvance the creation, sharing, and preservation of knowledge at Kansas State University.The new mission will be to move more of the collection and services online. Planning Team The Purple Academics Planning Committee team was responsible for drafting, revisingand finalizing the strategic plan. The committee consists of the following members:  Panayiotis Stathopoulos Project Leader, compiled the new priorities and action plan sections of the document.  Stephenie Heinz Secretary, compiled the current reality section of the document and meeting minutes.  Patricia Peterson Team Member, compiled the organizational profile and preparation/planning sections of the document. Planning Factors The K-State libraries system has already made significant progress towards creatingand maintaining digital content which makes this aspect of strategic planning much easier.The library currently maintains two different web sites dedicated to digital content. Theresearch and extension department website has a collection which includes the followingsubject areas: 4H, Crops, Economics, Environment and Natural Resources, Equipment andStructures, Food, Forestry, Health and Safety, Home and Family, Insects, Lawn and Garden,Livestock and Research and Extension. The K-State Research Exchange (K-REx)http://krex.k-state.edu/dspace/ is a service to preserve and provide permanent access toscholarly materials created by K-State faculty and students. Materials available in K-RExinclude journal articles, conference papers, technical reports, white papers, electronicthesis/dissertation/reports (ETDR) and other digital resources. Part of the strategic planproposed by the Purple Academics team involves moving the K-State Research Exchangewebsite from DSpace to Digital Commons for increased efficiency and functionality. SLIM LI 805 5
  6. 6. Current RealityEnvironmental Scan  Money/Funding Hale Library at Kansas State University is located in a smaller metropolitan area thathas been influenced by the recent economic recession. However, the university and thepresence of Fort Riley military base nearby allow for much of the economic stability in thecommunity. The area is rural agrarian, with significant agricultural influence both on theuniversity and the city as a whole.  Space Collection growth is essential to maintaining the library’s stance as an informationstronghold for the campus and the community. In order to keep up with the larger,wealthier libraries of Kansas University in Lawrence, KS and the libraries of metropolitanKansas City, Hale library must adapt its space to accommodate the growing collection. Alsodigitization and cooperation with other libraries through interlibrary loan services are anessential area for future growth as well. Refusal to concentrate on collection developmentand digital services will decrease student recruitment for the university and causeinformation seekers to look elsewhere.SWOT AnalysisStrengths  The library’s strengths lie in its ability to function as a team unit in progressing towards goals and objectives.  Outstanding interlibrary loan services, reference librarian services, information and computer technological servicesWeaknesses  Facility updating and modernization,  Lack of space, inability to expand current buildings and storage spaces  Minimal specialized programming and community outreach activitiesOpportunities  Our current external opportunities include continuous growth in student and community participation through awareness workshops, constant presence at university and community functions.  Hale wishes to remain relevant to the student body as well as to the larger academic research community and can do so through increasing our online collection of information resources. SLIM LI 805 6
  7. 7.  The library can improve by incorporating more team organization and group management styles to increase employee input in the decision-making process.Threats  Budget cuts and funding always present a threat to the library system.  Lacking multicultural and bilingual servicesOrganizational Performance Performance analysis will be undertaken to monitor and document progresstowards library goals and objectives to ensure alignment with library’s mission and visionstatement, guiding values. Inventory will be taken of the current assessment methodswhile evaluating their effectiveness and integration with institutional and library planningand decision-making processes. Design and implementation methods to assess libraryperformance and customer value, highlighting a set of key outcome-based performancemeasures such as digitization of library collection and community and student outreachgoals.Gap Analysis The results of the performance analysis will show a gap between the goals of thestrategic plan and the current realities of the library and staff performance. Improvementsin current acquisition policies as well as the movement towards increasing our digitalcollection will enhance the resource selection process and information access in the futureand increase quality and quantity of resources provided to the library’s patrons. Thecurrent reference tools and librarian services are adequate for the present capacity of thelibrary, however, as technology moves forward, so must the library’s ability to reach thepatrons and vice versa through the use of user-friendly access tools. The performanceanalysis will also conclude that increasing collaborative partnership between departmentsis necessary to improve the flow of knowledge production within the library. SLIM LI 805 7
  8. 8. New PrioritiesStrategic Profile The future of libraries resides in the digital realm. Successful libraries across thecountry and around the world are focusing their efforts on providing access to their users,through collaboration and via licenses, to online journals, books, and other print materials.In addition, successful libraries recognize the wealth of information at their ownuniversities and strive, through data curation programs, to connect the work of scholarsacross the disciplines. Data sets of all kinds are uploaded into searchable universitydatabases that encourage collaborative efforts in the areas of pedagogy and research. Onemeans is by an institution joining the Digital Commons. Currently Kansas State Universityparticipates in DSpace, but plans to join Digital Commons because of the latter’s enhancedfeatures for connectivity across universities and options for establishing open access selfpublishing in the form of refereed (supported by software) online journals. In addition, itwill enhance user access to materials around the world as the university refocuses itsacquisition efforts toward online materials.(See, in particular: Jean-Gabriel Bankier and Irene Perciali, “The Institutional Repository Rediscovered: WhatCan a University Do for Open Access Publishing?” http://works.bepress.com/jean_gabriel_bankier/1)Future Vision In the coming years, Kansas State University will connect both its mission as auniversity and its digital collection to the goal of global service in agriculture, science, andtechnology. Thus, the library and its staff will serve the university both at the local andglobal level, accessing materials from other places and making the products of K Stateaccessible to the world. SLIM LI 805 8
  9. 9. Action PlanMission/Vision:To acquire, organize, and preserve the scholarly record and to provide services and toolsfor users to access this information for purposes of teaching, learning, and research, that is,the creation of knowledge.Priority A:Careful stewardship of resources Goal: Address rising costs of print and electronic serial publications and books through updated prioritization and selection system (see Table 1, “K State Library Collections,” Appendix) Objective 1A: Review and revise current collection acquisition practices Strategies: o Study the usage of our collections, the current and future needs of users, and make informed decisions about collections development and management o Implement a comprehensive development and management policy for collections in order to base future acquisitions on user needs and institutional strengths Metrics:  Product: Collection usage (print materials circulation report and online database usage report for last five years) and user survey report by The Content Management Scholarly Communications Division  Product: Updated collections development and management policy by The Content Management Scholarly Communications Division Objective 2A: Move more of our collection and services online. Strategies: o Expand the use of consortia, collaboration, and outsourcing in order to contain the cost of selecting, purchasing, processing, housing, and preserving collections o Expand cooperative relationships in which other institutions provide materials in areas outside our strengths o Assess acquisitions/collections services to reallocate resources and eliminate services no longer needed o Establish criteria for long range maintenance and storage of collections o Work with vendors for licensing terms that maximize cost-effective access to the electronic scholarly resources needed by users SLIM LI 805 9

Objective 1B: Revitalize the Libraries’ relationship with and ability to deliver services to students and faculty. Strategies: o Strengthen outreach activities so users know about Libraries’ services o Expand Libraries’ role on University multidisciplinary research teams, contributing experience as professional information consultants o Review and revise library services delivery approach, focusing on library web page usage and ease of use o Publicize Libraries’ mission and services to university Metrics:  Product: Report on current and proposed outreach activities by The Research, Education, and Engagement Division  Product: Report on outreach efforts, current assistance provided by librarians to faculty research, and survey of faculty on current multidisciplinary research projects across campus by The Research, Education, and Engagement Division  Product: Report on library services (including web page services) with proposed revisions by division heads and The Research, Education, and Engagement Division  Product: University-wide marketing campaign on library services developed by division heads, library director, and The Assessment and Public Relations Division SLIM LI 805 10
  11. 11. Priority C:Collaborative partnerships across the university based on analysis of environmentand innovative approaches to critical inquiry and knowledge production Goal: Establish connections with all departments and divisions, gathering information on teaching, learning, and research challenges connected with library. Objective 1C: Revise library instructional practices for users. Strategies: o Enhance users’ understanding of the complexities of the information environment and help them become more adept at conducting effective searches, evaluating information sources, analyzing information needs, and using information effectively Metrics:  Product: Report on current practices and proposed revisions to instructional services to library users, focusing on underrepresented groups by The Research, Education, and Engagement Division Goal: Create interdisciplinary connection opportunities for scholars via digital collection project. Objective 2C: Discover, capture, preserve, and make available digital, research, knowledge, and information assets created or collected by users. Strategies: o Enhance the Libraries’ role in the University digital information environment, particularly the role in the creation, maintenance, preservation, storage, and sharing of the University’s digital information and scholarship by shifting K-State’s participation in DSpace to a membership in Digital Commons o Revise faculty members’ understanding of institutional repositories from static archives into an active place for scholarly activities by introducing SelectedWorks (integrated within Digital Commons) which makes faculty members’ websites the points of entry, controlled by the faculty member, for showcasing their personal—and ongoing—research o Support open access publishing by serving as an online, open access Publisher of faculty created, refereed online journals via Digital Commons rather than DSpace o Review the University’s special collections, records management, and University archives programs and develop recommendations to address the lifecycle management and long-term preservation of University records and personal papers in all formats SLIM LI 805 11

From: VIVO: Enabling national networking of scientists: Reference guide for manual data input. V. 1.1., p. 2ContingenciesA variety of factors, anticipated and un-anticipated, will impact the strategic planning of theKansas State University libraries. The following list, though not exhaustive, illustratespotential challenges for and responses to this strategic plan:Anticipated ContingenciesBased on reports from the chief academic officer of the university, budget lines for allacademic divisions will remain flat in the coming year (at minimum), requiring creativesolutions to acquisitions, delivery systems, and staffing of services.Following the midterm elections, federal and state funding for university programs andstudent aid will be under review; cuts in all areas are expected. Realignment of budgetpriorities at the university level will follow.Acceptance, rejection, or request for resubmission of proposals for external grant fundingfor library projects that are in the “pipeline” will occur in the next twelve months.A new university-wide fund raising initiative, focused on supporting academic divisions,will not be launched until August 2012.Unanticipated ContingenciesIn the event that library staff members depart from the university (none expected), theirlines will not be replaced, requiring creative solutions to staffing issues in the affecteddepartment(s).On occasion, gifts to the university (sometimes given anonymously and without advancenotice) are directed toward supporting the library.

  21. 21. Team Narrative Bruce Tuckman’s group development theory of the 1960’s has long been thefoundation for studies and literature reviews concerning how multi-person teams interact,create, and perform within the organizational and business infrastructure. In Library andInformation Center Management, Stueart and Moran explain Tuckman’s theory of groupdevelopment and also group management structures. They write, “people who are asked towork together for the first time have to get to know each other and learn how to worktogether” (Stuert & Moran 2007). The stages of the group development, forming, storming,norming, performing, and adjourning are basic concepts upon which to build if a group is tosucceed in its goals and objectives. Within our own group, The Purple Academics, eachstage of Tuckman’s theory is represented as we progressed towards our end goal ofproducing the strategic plan document and presentation. Tuckman’s initial stage in which the introductions, and initial reactions to otherindividuals occurs is called forming. It is the stage in which the group dynamic isestablished and the hierarchical structure is beginning to form. In our group, the formingstage is where we decided where we would be on the hierarchical structure. Stephenievolunteered to do the work of the secretary for the group, while Panayiotis agreed tobecome the group’s leader. The initial discussions of the forming stage included ideas aboutwhich direction to go in deciding how the Strategic Plan would come to fruition as well ashow the group would communicate. As research has shown, the forming stage is the mostuncomfortable of the five stages because it is where the personalities of the individualsbegin to arise. For example either natural leaders take over the group or there is a lack ofdecision-making due to suppressive societal instincts and a wish to please or gain approval.In our group, the forming stage was a tentative one in which each of us was ‘getting a feel’for one another and gathering ideas on how each would contribute to the group. The second stage of Tuckman’s theory, storming, is one in which patience andtolerance are important factors in the success of the team. The members of the group arebeginning to open up to each other and express their inner feelings and personal opinionsas to how to approach the goals and directives of the project. For our strategic plan group,this stage began around the second meeting. Individual brainstorming had occurred andwe began to decide the uncomplicated initial factors such as location, library type, and size.We also felt more comfortable with each other so we could express how we really feltabout each of these topics and could discuss more openly how we were going to proceedthrough the strategic plan. This storming stage is important in setting the tone for the restof the group’s time together and we realized that members of our group work welltogether, are agreeable and open to new ideas and differing perspectives. These factorsallowed us to progress successfully forward to the norming stage of group development. The norming stage begins as the group decides on one goal and one plan as to howto carry out its objectives. This stage allows for a certain amount of individual autonomyconcerning their sections of work, while providing opportunities for feedback by the group.Individuals are trusted to work without constant feedback and supervision by othermembers. During this stage, our group divided the plan rubric into sections and decided ona time to have our individual sections completed. We also allowed time for group reviewand feedback. The members were also flexible and understanding of each other if other SLIM LI 805 21

The group’s ability to workindividually toward our common goal and produce results efficiently and on time wereimportant to the success of our team. The fourth stage of Tuckman’s theory, performing, involves cooperation andprogressively working towards the group’s end goals. It is here that the group is inherentlyindependent and motivated, as well as able to make decisions autonomously. Our groupreached the performing stage around our third and fourth meetings. We had reached alevel of comfort with expressing our ideas and each had trust that the other individualswithin the group were working diligently and would make good on their promises to posttheir respective sections by the deadline. We could see the results of our efforts and as ourstrategic plan came together, Patti remarked that although the strategic plan assignmentseemed daunting at first, she was surprised at how quickly the group was able to assemblethe working document and was overly pleased with the work the group had accomplishedthus far. The final stage of Tuckman’s theory is adjourning. This process can includehappiness or sadness, as well as anger and frustration depending on how successful theteam was at achieving its objectives. Members of the group can feel a sense ofaccomplishment and can also feel sad about the ending of a productive alliance. Our grouphas mixed feelings about the adjournment and conclusion of this project. We are optimisticabout the work we put into the strategic plan document and presentation, encouraged bythe knowledge that we have each learned from the other members of our group, confidentabout future group projects, and perhaps even a little sad that such a great groupexperience is ending. Furthermore, the application of Tuckman’s group developmenttheory to our own group’s progress over the last six weeks has presented us with theopportunity to review how a group interacts with one another to progress towards theirgoals. We realize that cooperation and a willingness to embrace new perspectives is key toa successful team interaction.Stueart, R.D. & Moran, B.B. (2007). Library and information center management.
