Report Summary

This report covers fiscal years 2023 and 2024 (September 2022 through August 2024). Time has not felt the same since 2020, and we’ve continued to move and grow exponentially.

At the time of this writing, August 2024, the Library and Archives is one FTE away from being fully staffed.

Over FY23 and FY24, we reorganized twice under the Division of Academic Affairs, saw the creation of the Eagle Pass Library in August 2023 (a process that started in January 2023); and hired to fill four vacant positions.

Even with an expanded staff, the evolving complexity of libraries and archives requires more training and more attention to detail as we increase our service area, improve existing services, and introduce new services, resources, and staff spaces, requiring extensive staff time.

To simplify processes we continue to work toward regular and transparent communication; a cohesive, updated internal policy and procedure manual (now in its second year!); and an updated and navigable shared drive in SharePoint. We have also contributed to updating information about our Department in the Faculty and Student Handbooks as requested. We now host many public-facing policies on our website and we maintain an Internal Staff Calendar using Microsoft Outlook to keep each other informed.

In FY23 and FY24, SRSU Library and Archives staff displayed their drive, their professional ethics, and their sense of humor. Thank you, thank you, to everyone who shows up every day to continue to improve the Library and Archives for SRSU.
