| contents | Moving beyond the Amalgam: Restructuring Access Services Austin, Brice Academic Libraries Library Development Shared Resources and Services Library Networks Library Services Models Barriers Staff Utilization Organizational Change Access to Information Program Descriptions Library Administration At least since the early 1990s, academic libraries have been merging Circulation and various other related functions into a single department typically labeled "Access Services." In many cases, however, that merger has proven to be administrative rather than functional, with minimal integration of common workflows. This article describes a significant attempt by the Circulation and Interlibrary Loan Services Departments at the University of Colorado, Boulder, to restructure workflows and redistribute personnel in order to achieve a more efficient, integrated, and nimble work unit, an Access Services Department in more than name only. (Contains 1 note, 2 tables, and 4 figures.) |
