Blending Cultures at a Merged Service Desk

Amy Boucher, Emory University

It’s a trend…..

Reference librarians off the desk

Decreased/flat numbers = consolidation

One stop shopping

Budget savings

…that we joined in on

Services on different floors◦Reference on entrance floor, not visible from

entrance◦Circulation one floor up, off the beaten path

Services flat/dropping

Customer-driven and innovative culture

Strong administrative support

The players

Circulation(3rd floor): checkouts, laptop loans, reserves, book drops, learning commons help, stacks assistance, directional

Reference(2nd): information, directional, stacks assistance

Learning commons (2nd): printer and bizhub help, other public desktop support

Coming Together: Who was involved…and who was not

To the Merged Desk Moved to Other Areas

Circulation

Reference

Learning Commons

Laptop loans◦ Moved to Music Media

Reserves ◦ Moved to Music Media

Library

Stacks Team◦ Now separate from circ

team

Full speed ahead…

Timeline of less than 1 year (Oct 2009 – Aug 2010)

Focus on design & becoming operational, less on team building

A range of approaches

Circulation Reference

Centralized management of schedule

1/13 student staff ratio

High turnoverDocumented,

organized trainingCommunication:

email, learnlink

Community managed schedule

Shared responsibilityVery low turnoverMentored training,

minimal docsCommunication:

email, blog

The wait and see approach

Integrated Separate

Services◦ Circulation – all staff

trained in basics◦ Scanner/printer help◦ Directional/stacks asst.

Tasks◦ Handouts, signs

Admin◦ Core staff on separate

teamsTasks

◦ Scheduling◦ Supply ordering

Services◦ Advanced circulation◦ Advanced learning

commons◦ In-depth reference

Coming together

Focus on consistent, regular service through transition

Regular team meeting – members from Service Desk, Reference/Instruction, Learning Commons Teams

Work with Library HR on Team Building– Storming, Norming, Performing

Sharing visions, goals

New team leader in Nov

…and apart

Challenge of consistent communicationOne-way “cross-training” – leads to uneven

skillsFocus on the desk – collective vs centralizedDiffering expectations for different staffAdjustment to new team, new space, new

manager, large desk community (40-50)

Next steps…

Possible integrations: scheduling, training

Reference cross-training, new ILS training

Patron intelligence/data (Desk Tracker, comment cards)

Staffing model – new model for new desk –new position◦Existing staffing model: 1 reference, 1 circ

supervisor, 1-2 students

Team building goes on

Recognition that this is an ongoing process
