| contents | Beyond Walls: A Strategic Plan for James White Library. Academic Libraries Access to Information Buildings Facility Expansion Financial Support Higher Education Information Dissemination Information Sources Information Technology Library Collection Development Library Facilities Library Planning Library Role Mission Statements Needs Assessment Printed Materials Religious Cultural Groups Space Utilization Staff Development Strategic Planning The strategic plan for the James White Library of Andrews University uses the phrase "beyond walls," rather than the catchphrase "library without walls," to acknowledge that printed matter is here to stay but that the paradigm in which it operates is open to innovation and exploration. The fundamental changes taking place in libraries will not eliminate the role of the library as a place for print materials even though the paradigm shift driven by electronic information technology will continue. The James White Library has a primary responsibility to support instructional, service, and research programs for the university through acquisition, organization, and maintenance of appropriate information resources. The new strategic plan recognizes the transitional nature of the library and its needs for a building addition. Seven goals are articulated to reflect the unique nature and mission of Andrews University as a Seventh-day Adventist institution and the beyond-walls concepts of focusing on the patron and on access to information. Staff development and recognition of the library's Adventist heritage are integral parts of the strategic plan. The financial support required for some short-term and specific space needs is outlined. Six appendixes provide supplemental information about the plan, planning committee recommendations, existing staff positions, the budget, and a statistical summary of the library collection. (SLD) |
