Libraries Job Analysis Classification
Three years in the making Library HR and two committees Six new classification levels--more accurate Other job families (IT, accounting) have also been
classified Big undertaking Challenge now is to set salary levels that match
market and recognize differences between levels
Development $2.5M raised in funds and gifts-in-kind Progress toward $12M private funds for Special
Collections Libraries Buildings continues
Public Events
“First Annual Max Cleland Alive Day Program,” and award presentation, Russell Library.

Budget Cuts
Personnel/Operations budget cut about 12% since FY02 Library Materials Budget also cut, but some restored
plus one-time money (more below) FY06 may be first year without a cut since FY02 Under current formula, budget increases are driven by
enrollment growth UGA is not growing, so we may not see budget
increases We are fortunate that Library Materials Budget is a
priority
Library Materials Expenditures
FY03 Spent $9.3M FY04 Spent $9.6M FY05 $10.2M FY06 Project $10.5M FY07 Project $11M
Library Materials Budget
FY03 Base $7.81M FY04 Base $7.35M FY05 Base $7.91M FY06 Base $8.84M
– Increase of $750,000 plus replaced Grad Tuition funding ($250,000)
Budget Gap FY05
FY05 – budget =$7.9M, spent $10.2M How did we close $2.3M gap?
– Graduate Tuition Differential = $254,377– Student Tech Fee = $400,000– Research Stations = $87,000– The rest, $1.6M, from one-time funds from
University Administration
Budget Gap FY06
FY06 – budget = $8.84M FY06 expenditures = $10.5M How do we close $1.7M gap
– Student Tech Fee = $300,000– Research Stations = $87,000– The rest, $1.3M, from one-time funds from
University Administration
Library Materials Budget
Precarious – costs continue to increase Plus, many new publications, especially
electronic resources, to purchase Strong University support, but difficult to
keep up
Review Short Term Goals for Last Year (FY05)•Complete fire recovery and re-occupy second floor annex.
•Evaluate results of first LibQUAL survey and plan changes to address concerns.
•Maintain the best possible journal collection given cost increases and available funding.
•Co-sponsor and host the Lillian Smith Book Awards with the Southern Regional Council.
•Plan for additional collection storage.
Additional Goals for Past Year
Move Map Collection Investigate Institutional Repository Implement OCLC Connexion Evaluate Impact of UC/UB (GIL Express) Evaluate Impact of ILLIAD
Short Term Goals for This Year
1. Maintain the best possible journal collection given cost increases and available funding.
This is a continuing goal that we must confront every year. Again, strong support from the University has allowed us to meet this goal each year and avoid cancellations.
Short Term Goals for This Year
2. Address problems with staff salaries.
Classified staff salaries are painfully low and do not reflect the sophisticated work they do. Further, salary compression is a major problem with 51% of staff within $3,000 of the University's lowest base. A realistic plan to address this issue will be developed.
Short Term Goals for This Year
3. Expand and improve available space.
With the Special Collections Libraries Building still some years off, we need to explore three other building projects: expand the library repository, renovate the entry floors of the Main and Science Libraries, and seek private funding for a new Fine Arts Library.
Short Term Goals for This Year
4. Expand and maintain an Institutional Repository.
The University generates many reports, working papers, and other publications that are often difficult to locate and use. We are developing an Institutional Repository to capture and organize this material electronically, in cooperation with other USG libraries.
Short Term Goals for This Year
5. Establish an advanced search for electronic databases.
We offer over 400 electronic databases, but selecting which ones to search and searching them one at a time is difficult for most of our users.. A commercial package that allows searching across multiple databases is being pursued
Five Year Plan
University requires most units to prepare five year plan
Most colleges did this last year. Libraries will do this year
Consider where we want to be in 2010 Retreat on July 27 Plan due November 1. This is preliminary.
The Teaching Library: Building Partnerships1. Provide an information literacy course as
part of required curriculum
2. Develop teaching partnerships with faculty
3. Improve database interfaces to promote user self-sufficiency
The Evolving Collection: Blending Access, Ownership, and Preservation
1. Ensure an adequate budget to support the evolving collection
2. Digitize and store book, image, manuscript, media, and institutional collections
3. Integrate access to resources
The Strengthened Heart of the University: Library Buildings1. Design and construct the Special Collections
Libraries Building2. Raise funds to design and construct a Fine Arts
Library3. Renovate at least the first floors of the Main and
Science Libraries to provide an environment conducive to learning
4. Explore ways to provide additional library space for collections (e.g., expand the Repository)
The Empowered Staff: Investing in the Staff and Faculty of the Libraries1. Compensation – recruit and retain faculty and
staff who are collaborative, creative, and student centered
2. Staff development – provide a training and development program that promotes organizational and individual objectives
3. Provide needed resources (such as software, equipment, and other resources needed for optimal performance)
