The survey asks faculty to describe their inclusion of information technology in programs. While the descriptions and definitions are idiosyncratic, it is still possible to track patterns of technology use across planning units.  The table below portrays response rates for information technology sorted into five categories and organized by planning unit or interdisciplinary status (core and interarea programs). Other than library research, the categories distinguish between in-depth disciplinary tools used almost exclusively by one or two planning units (media production and specialized scientific applications) and more basic, cross-curricular entry-level tools which might reasonably be taught in a wide array of contexts (presentation media and basic computer applications such as Excel, social software or courseware, or simple webpage creation).  The two categories of cross-curricular tools (presentation media and basic computer applications), might be considered common components of basic information technology.  Extremely widely utilized applications such as word processing are not considered at all, as they are nearly ubiquitous and thus rarely appeared in the reports.

What emerges from this study is a picture of how faculty teach or include  information technology literacy according to the content of their programs. Clearly, no single definition of appropriate information technology literacy applies across any significant portion of the curriculum. The data provides some insight into how students develop information technology experience at a college where there are no requirements or ITL standards. What follows is a summary of the various emphases and interests in information technology expressed through end-of-program reports, with an emphasis on planning units and curricular structures:
+
[[Media: Add_the_Library_Network_Printer_to_your_PC.DOC|Handout: Add the Library Network Printer to your PC]]
  
Predictably, the CTL      planning unit reported the least involvement with information technology,      even including library research. At 39% of programs reporting      library research, CTL is lowest of all planning units except      SI.  More unexpectedly, CTL reports media production work at      19%, which is higher than either presentation technology or other forms of      basic computer use.  Obviously, a significant portion of CTL faculty      focus on close reading and thoughtful engagement with assigned texts,      avoiding the search for external authorities. They also are more likely to     use media production as a vehicle for storytelling, analogous to texts.
+
[[Media: Set-up_Network_Printer.doc|Handout: Add the Library Network Printer to your Mac]]
  
SI also places less frequent emphasis on library research, with 35% of programs reporting involvement. Perhaps original research—fieldwork and labs-- might supplant an emphasis on library research in some programs.  The culture of the science planning unit may also presume that students are able to independently research their topics.
+
[[Media: How_to_Print_to_Library_Printers_from_Windows_Laptop.pdf|Handout: How to print to the Library printers from your Windows laptop]]
  
Despite a strong      focus on non-scholarly and non-print texts and expression, Expressive Arts      nevertheless works with library research in a respectable 43% of programs.  
+
[[Media: Library_Informational_Handout.pdf|Handout: General Library Information]]
  
Core programs, where      one might expect strong emphasis on basic academic skills development,      report only 55% engagement in library research.  
+
[[Media: Home_Directories_at_TESC_Handout.pdf|Handout: Home Directories at Evergreen]]
  
Remaining planning      units report library research in between 50% and 63% percent of their programs
+
[[Media: Circulation_Reserve_form.doc|Circulation Reserve Form]]
  
Inter-area programs,      on the other hand, have the highest attention to research, at 63%
+
[[Media: Reserve_Policies_and_Procedures_2007.doc|Circulation Reserve Policy Sheet]]
  
A different picture emerges when planning units were surveyed about their use of more specialized media production and computer applications. That is, 63% of expressive arts programs report use of media production; and 48% of SI programs report use of specialized computer applications.  Not surprisingly, SI reports 4% use of media production while expressive arts reports 0% scientific applications. There is modest use of media production in other areas (19% in CTL; 13% in SPBC) and almost no use of specialized computer applications in planning units outside of SI and EA.
+
[[Media: LibraryofCongressClassification.pdf|Library of Congress Classification Sheet
 +
]]
  
Media production appears outside of its disciplinary home in Core and Inter-area programs. As faculty from EA move into interdivisional teaching, media production appears in 29% of Core programs and 39% of inter-area programs.  Scientific computing appears in only 5% of Core and 6% of inter-area programs.  EWS programs offer 16% media production and 10% scientific computing in their \more specialized classes.  Although team teaching is one of the college’s strongest faculty development tools, specialized media or scientific applications do not appear to be spreading via team teaching. Media Production disseminates more than specialized scientific computing.
+
[[Media: LibraryMaps.pdf|Library Maps Main & Third Floors]]
  
To summarize, planning units show clear preferences.  For instance, SI focuses heavily on a combination of presentation media (often Illustrator posters) at 46% and on specialized computing with less use or at least less mention of more basic computer applications.  ES and SPBC are the most balanced in use of basic information technology tools.  ES uses presentation media heavily (49%) and a fair amount of basic computer applications (39%).  SPBC also uses presentation media in a substantial number of programs (38%) with basic computing in 29%.  EA reports 26% of each basic technology, showing a commitment to using many types of information technology.
+
====Policies, regulations, and procedures for the development and management of library and information resources, including collection development and weeding====
  
The interdivisional curriculum and the broad EWS programs show a different pattern. With a more distributed student body and with shorter class sessions concentrated in off-hours, EWS strongly depends on basic computing to support communication outside of the classroom (46%).  Surprisingly, Core reports low use of presentation media (18%) and modest use of basic computing (29%).  Inter-area programs are a bit more ambitious, with 26% use of presentation media and 22% use of basic computing, although media production is fairly well represented in inter-area programs at 39%.
+
[[Media: Circulation_Policies.doc|Circulation Policies]]
  
Overall, 42% percent of programs work in both presentation media and basic computing.  In general, this work happens more in advanced curriculum than at Core, where faculty focus on basic reading and interpretation.  On the other hand inter-area programs provide more opportunities  to develop a wider range of IT skills, presumably because students are better prepared and more experienced.  A significant majority of programs use media and computing information technologies, from general to specialized applications.
+
[[Media: Interlibrary_Loan_Policies_%26_Procedures.doc|Interlibrary Loan Policies & Procedures]]
  
Off-campus programs are not represented in the table, although they were surveyed about how they used information technology as a tool for communicating and for accessing academic resources. When Tribal programs were asked, “To what extent has your Evergreen experience contributed to your growth . . .  using computer technology to present work, find information or solve problems, students responded, "Quite a bit" 44.8% of the time. In stark contrast, all other categories of students ranked computer use as last or 20th of 24 categories [Exhibit: http://www.evergreen.edu/institutionalresearch/studentexperiencesurvey2006responses.htm  question 19]as a skill developed at Evergreen.
+
[[Media: Media_Loan_Policies.pdf|Media Loan Policies]]
  
Presumably, students in more conventional settings feel that they come to college with their use of computers well established, or they developed their use outside of the curriculum. In addition, a larger percentage of faculty teaching off-campus programs leverage the on-line collaboration tools such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and eportfolios to facilitate communication within the planning unit outside of class time. This brings a technology focus to the forefront for off-campus students.  The Tacoma program, which reports out as a single program, but represents many tracks for hundreds of students, always includes a research and a media production component.
+
[[Media: Library_Collection_Development_Guidelines.doc|Library Collection Development Guidelines]]
  
How does this spread of information technology instruction and use across the curriculum correlate to the teaching and support provided by library instruction? Library workshops for 2003 through 2007 show that although Core program focus is not particularly frequent (55%) compared to much of the curriculum, yet library faculty work heavily with that part of the curriculum.  Librarians gave workshops to 40 core programs over the time period, the highest commitment other than to EWS, with its very high number of individual programs and classes.  Thus while library research may not be as heavily covered in the Core curriculum as might be expected, faculty in core teams are reaching out for assistance in this aspect of the work very actively and the library is providing strong support.
+
[[Media: Tescgovdocs-colldevpolicy.doc | Government Documents/Maps - Collection Development Policy]]
  
Inter-area and social science curricula are also well supported by library instruction with 26 and 22 programs served.  Self-reported library research in programs (63% and 60%)correlates well to library-based instruction.  Thus while one might expect that interarea programs are able to include more information technology in their programs, this is not simply because students are already prepared or assumed to be prepared in basic skills such as library research.  There might also be recognition that library research at the core level will be very different from what is expected in subsequent years.
+
[[Media: Appropriate_Use_Policy_2007.doc|TESC IT Appropriate Use Policy]]
  
The science and environmental studies curriculum show lower use of library instruction, with 12 and 15 programs requesting workshops.  CTL, an area which reported comparatively little use of library research in programs, also utilized very little library instruction: librarians provided workshops to only four CTL programs.

Right now they have two labs (PC and Mac) and up until recently it has been supported by one technology systems specialist who also teaches intensively in the Tacoma curriculum. [How is this changing? Also, many of the reservation-based program facilities are abysmal--is this on the radar of academic computing at all?]

In context of the recent remodel of the library facility, various adaptive and assistive technologies (AT) for people with disabilities have been upgraded, expanded, and collected into several central locations. Principal among these developments is the new AT Lab located on the ground floor of the academic library. In the lab, there are three PC stations with a range of AT software applications and peripherals. One station is specialized to support people with physical mobility, sensory, and dexterity problems. One is specialized support people with cognitive and learning difficulties. One is specialized for high-end graphics and digital photography work, with an electronic height adjustable table as the only disabilities-related accommodation. The lab also contains a CCTV reading station for people with visual problems. Circulation maintains a selection of headsets and other peripherals for check out for use in the Lab. The lab also provides necessary hubs and make software settings available to support such items owned by lab users.

====Assessment measures to determine the adequacy of holdings, information resources and services to support the educational programs both on and off campus====
  
The lab environment provides the privacy and quiet necessary to many AT applications, and it also provides a haven and separate place where students and others in the disabilities community can mix socially or sit quietly together among themselves. In partnership with Access Services and Student Affairs, the faculty librarians supervise the AT Lab, its users, and the student interns that have made it a living place of shared support and learning for the disabilities community here at the college. Matching the AT equipment and software in the lab are two stations across the foyer in the General Computing Center. Disability accommodations for mobility problems in particular are also maintained in the Digital Imaging Studio in Photo Services and in the Multimedia Lab. There is a need for more equipment in other areas of the college, as well as dedicated staff to administrate and maintain AT equipment campus-wide.

The library remodel included three teaching spaces. Although none is currently configured as a lab significant thinking has gone into equipping and using the library underground, including one of the classrooms and the many study rooms as a good facility for large classes engaging in a variety of activities (seminar, media presentation, computer lab work, small group discussion, etc.). The two additional classrooms have full computer, network and media viewing. For laboratory style teaching, co-location with the computer center makes scheduling and using computer labs very easy and convenient. Typical of the variation among the rest of the faculty, some of the reference librarians prefer teaching in the library classrooms, some the computer labs, and some in the many classrooms on campus which now have web access and classroom display options.

Students find the public library computers configured to mirror applications in the computer lab so that students can work in either area. Printing is free in both environments. A desktop link to the CAL system supports fluidity across campus from the library public access computers. The library circulation desk provides laptops for use within the library, although more and more students bring their own and take advantage of the wireless access. Two multi-media stations (one on the Mac platform) in reference support slightly more specialized applications such as Dreamweaver and Photoshop with scanners for reproduction of materials which do not circulate from the library's collections.

====Data regarding number and assignments of library staff====
  
Scheduled to be completed and included in the curriculum for Fall 2009/10, the CNM will help connect the use of specialized technology in the general liberal arts and the media-focused curriculum. Promoting the use of the facility across the curriculum and across levels of user proficiency and skill will be one of the primary goals for the CNM. Cross-curricular use and instruction are central to both the mission and function of the CNM as is increasingly true for all other academic information technology resources on campus.
+
[[Media: Library_Organization.pdf | Library Organization Summary]]
  
Currently, a key project is planned to address the complex problem of media silos in the curriculum through the CNM. In keeping with one of Evergreen’s traditional pedagogical approaches, an emphasis on grounded, project-based learning, Library faculty and Expressive Arts media faculty are working with Library Archives and Media Services staff toward a digital archives project meant to involved the whole Evergreen community. The Evergreen Visual History Archives (EVHA) project will focus on the current generation of faculty retirements and new hires, occasioned by the thirtieth anniversary of the college’s founding. It will bring together faculty from across the curriculum, and at every range of career tenure, into numerous media training institutes focused on digitally preserving and celebrating the college’s past. The EVHA project, with the CNM as its hub, will enrich, expand, and even reinvent the existing uses of digital technologies on campus as participating faculty incorporate their experience into their teaching. Several academic programs that combine digital arts with history, political science, law, and anthropology are in consideration for 09-10 curriculum, with EVHA and the CNM at their center. The expectation, in this and other projects to come, the broad integration of the CNM into the curriculum to begin with media specialists and then to disseminate outward through years of shared planning, team teaching, and independent student work.
+
[[Media: Staff_Position_List_-_Jan_2008.doc | Library Staff Position List - Jan 2008]]
  
The focus on archives and collection and dissemination of digitized liberal arts knowledge will bring library interests into the CNM project. Meanwhile, the instructional role of the library faculty will continue to involve more digitized formats and media. The influence of the web has already dramatically changed library teaching at the reference desk and the library faculty have reduced their commitment to the reference desk due to both reduced faculty lines and reduced traffic. On the other hands, substantial increases in the Evening and Weekend curriculum have created a set of additional demands, spread over a wide range of the schedule, to be satisfied with a smaller team. The need for consistent support for and engagement with off-campus programs remains a difficult challenge.
