The report has a lot to offer and digest. I was wondering if Allison Head, et al are going to have the survey open to other academic libraries?

I'm not sure this happens at MPOW but it is something to watch out for. Thank PiL for their work in underscoring that faculty are key. :-) That’s an excellent point that would tie in well with a POW’s emphasis on social justice (ergo environmental justice) as well as a general cost-saving measure.

We've seen 80 page printed courseware packages that could be 1 page of links. It happens too often and we're working really hard on outreach to get the library more embedded in faculty course and assignment development processes.

Why not work with them to use library resources when they develop those reading lists that students to to first? We are dismayed when we see printed "courseware" full of articles that are available in our online databases. If you want students to use resources in your library and not just hang out (not that we're not happy to have them do that) you gotta make sure your faculty expect their students to do so.

During that time I helped 2 local college students write papers and access scholarly journal articles. I actually "frogmarched" one student to her own databases and dialed her school's librarian, handing her the phone - thereby forcing her to talk to him. There might have been an intimidation factor going on there - cerebral academic librarian vs. friendly ol' public librarian. Maybe you-all should consider assuming a blue-permed wig and spectacles with gold chain peeper-keepers. And don't forget to say "Shhhhh!!!" once in a while. ;) Interesting…I just finished a 10-Week intern stint as an adult reference librarian in a public library.
