Story
Present: Mindy, Jenna, Samantha, Josh Absent: Anders One day we were all assigned to a group. Once in the group, we were told to pick a problem. We organized a schedule to come up with a solution. We decided that there isnt enough quiet space in the labrary. We met weekly in the library to discuss the problem and come up with a solution. The more we met the more problems we seen. At each meeting it was hard to find quiet space. The first there people studying, the next week there was a man sleeping.

Meeting with Tom Smisek
Meeting with Tom Smisek
11:00am-
Present: Mindy, Samatha, Anders, Josh, Jenna, Tom Smisek
Discussed what our issue is with the library.
Project vs. Something actually trying to do
Budget: 10% cut from governer walker across the board
Everyone on campus has a budget, large comes from state, pays for salary, and all the up keep of the building when necessary, and running the building all comes out of the library budget
He is only a reference librarian, and dont deal with the numbers when it comes to the budget, but suggested we contact Budget office..... (Valerie would be the one to talk to)
When the carpet downstairs was downstairs, it comes out of the facilities funding. Facilities management was the ones who paid for the carpet.
The reason why they paid for it was because it was a need, students were tripping over it. The safety issue drove it, but there is money for upkeep.
year and a half ago perposed walling off part of the labrary,
trying to get money for that, could be done but the layout would have to be changed, but wouldnt happen because it wouldnt make sense.
All furniture is movable
Tried to keep the second floor quiet but still got complaints becuase people study in different ways, trying to devided it in different space. Monitor more of the sound on the second space.
Campus seems to accept it the second floor is accepted more as quiet.
hope in the future that there would be more money, becuase of the election cycle, until the next one, the next elected officals are going to do what they want to do.
A lot of the stuff we get from madison, data base, ect, we will loose out on if Madison breaks off on their own.
Libqual survey, ask Valerie (library director) sent out a survey to determine what students liked about the library
The only things that cannot be moved, are the stuff with power, the tables stay next to pillers becuase of outlets, the book stacks can not be moved because of the floor load. Cannot move the computers becuase of the jacks and the cost to reset them up. Security reasons, the jacks that are not used are not turned on. If there is books stacked on them it was put there becuase of how the floor layout is to support them. The book stacks have to stay where they are because of teh structual engineering.
The cost of putting stuff online, that isnt already online the cost is crucial. If they have a hard copy, we would have to once again buy an online copy.
We use our books and we use other peoples books as well, madison ect.....
The books might not be used by us but other school barrow from us as well .
access to 11 million titles alone, we have more access because we use other libraries as well.
How many libraries in the UW system are used for the library, all of the UW-campuses plus the UW schools that are two years.

Meeting Minutes
2/16/2011
Present: Anders, Josh, Mindy, Samantha, Jenna
Narrowed down idea for project. There is not enough quiet space in the library for when students want to study. The Library is not very organized and there is a lot of wasted space that could be used. Need to figure out a way to reduce the noise in certian parts of the library.
What we need to do: Find blue prints for the library ( Mindy will talk to Grace) and figure out where everything is set up.
Find out who we need to talk to: Talk to Grace to see who we can get a copy of the blue prints from.
How we can go about solving it: Get work study groups to come in as a summer project and mmove stuff around to reorganize it. Have designated computer lab that is always open. UC and WEB are always full.
Layout: Need more study space so there isnt the disruption of people always walking by looking for study space.
The benefit it would bring to students would be substantial
Could have a book sale to bring in more money. Could save space by putting book shelves up on the walls.
Decided we are going to meet every wednesday at 11am to keep meetings short and to keep in touch about the project.
Tasks for next meeting:
Get stats about how many students even check out books, figure out certian subjects that arent checked out as much that could be stored in a different section to save space. The majority of books are now online and many students dont check out books.
Meet with the library manager about library and book information.
Designate a few computers for just library use
....................Next weeks Agenda...............
Get a copy of the blue prints and go through and draw in all the stuff in the library so we know how to rearrange the library. Take inventory on tables, computers, ect....
Get layout and decided where we can move everything (computer lab on third floor)
