2 LARGE DISPLAYS DRAW INTEREST

Congressman Moakley and El Salvador

On display in the RCC Library, July 30 to September 15, 2004, was an exhibit entitled El Congresista: Joe Moakley en El Salvador. It was on loan from The John Joseph Moakley Archive and Institute, Suffolk University. This traveling exhibit focused on the civil war in El Salvador and its impact on the Salvadoran people through photographs and documents drawn from the Moakley Archive’s collection of materials. The exhibit explored the late congressman’s growing involvement with Salvadoran refugees and citizens and his efforts to bolster democracy.

On August 31, 2004, there was an open house in the library in conjunction with the exhibit co-sponsored by Congressman Michael Capuano and attended by representative of the Moakley Archive, college staff and members of the community interested in Congressman Moakley’s work. Shirley Leslie of the President’s Office handled most coordination for the Moakley display and event.

Minority Role Models

On display during September: Minority Role Models in Science, Mathematics, Technology and Engineering - A Traveling Exhibit.

The TTT Mentor Program of Cambridge, MA created this exhibit to encourage minority students to explore careers in the sciences. The display included large pictures of eighteen successful professionals in the Boston area, including Dr. Phillip L. Clay, Chair of the RCC Board of Trustees. The TTT Mentor Program provides mentors and other activities for low-income children in the Greater Boston area. Activities are organized to enhance traditional teaching and learning in the sciences and to encourage students, especially girls, to choose a career goal in science.

NEW LIBRARY REFERENCE DESK

Students seeking reference help from a professional librarian no longer have to hunt in one of the library offices. Instead, they can now go to the new reference desk, located close to the entrance and across from the circulation desk. By definition, people entering a library are looking for something. In many cases that something is information which they are not quite sure how to find. It is hoped that making the masters-degree-trained professional librarians much more accessible will increase students’ ability to find information that they need for course work. The library has lacked a reference desk for 10 years. The present one could not have been installed without the help of staffs from the Facilities and Information Technology departments. The reference desk will be staffed about 50% of the time, during the busy mornings and at evening hours.

Morning reference librarian Kelly Jo Woodside helps student Paulette Smith.

LIBRARY #1 IN STUDENT POLL

In the spring of 2004, 250 RCC students completed a poll ranking the 15 RCC offices and services. The Student Government Association sponsored the poll. There were two criteria: usage and satisfaction. The library came in first in usage; 94% of students surveyed said they used the library. In satisfaction, 83.1% of students said they were satisfied with library services, a close second behind The Learning Center, ranked at 83.5%. Jerome Dean, Director of the Office of Institutional Research, analyzed and compiled the poll results. He created a third category, positive impact, found by multiplying the usage percentile times the satisfaction percentile. In the final report, Jerome noted that “(t)he library, with an impact score of 78.2% has the most positive impact on students’ perception of RCC in general.”

Library staff members are naturally gratified by these results. On the other hand, 17% unsatisfied is unacceptably high and the library has to do a better job at refining its customer service techniques.

The whole report entitled “Spring 2004 Student Opinion Survey Results” is available at the library reference desk.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

The library has several hundred items on Hispanic topics. A small interesting selection of these is now on display at the library entrance for Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15-October 15. Come take a look!

STAFF NOTES

• Thu Khong, college web master and adopted library staff member, was married over the summer. Attending a very nice reception for the newlyweds in downtown Boston were the following RCC folks: (from IT) Abdimalig Mohamed, Patrick Jean-Louis, Jean-Bernard Nicolas, Walter Geer and Antonio Perez; (from the library) Neela Dandekar and Mark Lawrence; (from Student Services) Lisa Joseph; (from Grants & Workforce Development) Sam Boadu; and (formerly of The Learning Center) Moses Germain.
• Neela Dandakar has retired from the RCC library for the second time. Neela was a professional librarian at RCC for many years until her retirement several years ago. She then returned to the library as a part-time contract worker. She has now left again to spend more time with grandchildren and her expertise is sorely missed.

• Marie Magloire has been reclassified and promoted to Library Assistant III.

295 NEW BOOKS

The library purchased and processed nearly 300 new books and audiovisual items during the spring and summer. (See list below.) This is equivalent to about 10 bookshelves full and represents the biggest acquisition in two years. Most of the titles match topics that students have chosen for research papers over the last 18 months and are likely to be in high demand.
