Structures, Services and Staffing in Learning Resource Centers in Selected California Community Colleges.
Jensen, Mary E.
A survey of learning resource centers in 15 California community colleges was conducted to aid the staff of the West Valley College center in determining what changes to make in organizational structure, administration, services, and staffing. The survey instrument elicited information on staffing in various departments, work loads, service hours, staffing and operation of service points and the reference desk as well as full- and part-time certificated (professional), classified (non-professional), and student personnel. Acquisitions, circulation, and distribution, instructional development, equipment, and word processing were also explored. All colleges provided technical processes, book acquisitions, and periodicals services, and all but one or two employed full-time certificated and classified staffs. Approximately two-thirds of the colleges had some type of media acquisitions; one-half assigned full-time certificated and two-thirds full-time classified personnel to this function. Nearly all colleges had one or more full-time certificated staff members assigned specifically to public service/reference coordination. Part-time personnel were employed at two-thirds of the centers. Instructional development was a function in three-fourths of the centers with full-time certificated personnel generally responsible for the service. Students were employed at all centers for various time amounts. (TR)
