  1. ASERL Strategic Planning 2010-2013 Responses from Member Survey

  2. Overview • 18 of 38 ASERL libraries responded • Frequent consensus amongst the respondents, but what about non-respondents? • Does non-response imply satisfaction/agreement with ASERL’s programming?

  3. Review of Current Strategic Plan • In general, support for existing strategy • Implicit/explicit interest in fostering greater collaboration in next 3 – 5 years • Ongoing interest in improving access to ASERL collections as over-arching goal • Some interest in improving diversity in ASERL libraries as an explicit part of ASERL’s strategy

  4. Review of Current Strategic Plan • Some fatigue with ongoing discussions of existing ASERL programs, such as Kudzu and gov-docs, group purchasing, etc. • Some interest in divvying-up issues with other consortia, such as ARL, CIC, etc: Allowing the “owner” to address the issue so others can focus on different matters

  5. Ideas for the Future • “Inventory” of ASERL’s programming compared to CIC / GWLA peers – interest in developing ties with provosts? • Better ties between ASERL and accreditation bodies • Foster more opportunities for AULs and others to interact with ASERL counterparts • Develop improved library assessment tools

  6. Perceived Benefits of ASERL Membership(in descending order of importance) • Networking among library deans/directors • Opportunities to learn about emerging issues at meetings • Easy access to email discussions with other deans about issues • Group purchasing for commonly-desired products/services • Opportunities for AUL’s & others to interact with colleagues

  7. ROI • Right now, no ASERL member expects to receive the full cost of their dues back via savings in group purchases, etc. • Most expect some mix of tangible and intangible returns on their ASERL dues expenditure • Expectations for tangible returns are expected to increase in future

  8. Small Group Discussions Group 1: Options for / Interest in “deep collaboration” within ASERL? Group 2: Desired benefits from building/expanding engagement with provosts, accreditation agencies, etc? Group 3: ASERL in 2013: What new programs / activities would be most valuable? (e.g., assessment, diversity, others?)What can be cut?
