There is one professional librarian (me) with oversight responsibility on
collection development, collection management, policy, faculty liaison, etc.
Principle responsibility for selection falls to subject librarians.
Ordering, receiving, cataloging, processing is managed through normal
acquisitions processes (a variety of staff, cross-trained, perform the
necessary responsibilities), with one primary contact person for media
ordering.
Circulation, shelving, overdues, etc. are managed by Circulation staff
(again a wide variety of staff, all cross-trained)
Media Booking has a primary contact person (the same staff member who is the
primary contact for media ordering), but there is cross-trained back-up as
well.
Cataloging is outsourced to the Tempe campus library, which also handles
InterLibrary Loan processing (ASU West Library is an ILL lender).
Classroom equipment support is maintained by the campus IT staff. But most
classrooms are equipped with standard playback equipment and data
projection.
In-house equipment (TV/VCR, TV/DVD, turntable, CD players, etc.) management
falls to the Media librarian (again, me) but equipment problems are rare and
infrequent, and usually handled by pulling the equipment and plugging in a
replacement unit.
That's it in a nutshell.... For more detailed information please contact me
directly
