Special Collections and Rare Book Room• Over 39,000 books including:
– 120 Medieval manuscripts– Fine press books– American Women’s Poetry Collection– Historical Children’s Collection– Pop-up books– Artist books
![Page 3: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Participants
• Student employees of Western Michigan University Libraries– 7 total employees
• Including me
• Manager: Susan Steuer Ph. D. of History and head of Special Collections and Rare Book Room
![Page 5: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reason to Intervene• Library staff were not monitoring
patrons while they used library materials• Dr. Steuer wanted to increase
monitoring behavior because materials housed at Special Collections are:
• Out of print• Hard to come by• One of a kind• Expensive (some books cost over $15,000) • Priceless
– Abuse of materials is not acceptable
![Page 6: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Baseline
• Library staff monitored patrons on an average of 18.5% of 90-second intervals
![Page 7: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Nothing beats getting paid to do homework…

Performance Objectives
• The goal is for staff to monitor patrons 95% of 90-second intervals
![Page 12: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But how…With Goal DirectedSystems Design?Of course!
![Page 13: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

The Intervention
• 90-second interval timer– Beeps once every 90 seconds– Reminds staff to monitor patrons
DING!
![Page 16: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Intervention
• Revised patron request form– Modified to facilitate self-recording– Used for data collection
• Observation no longer necessary
![Page 17: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

The Intervention
• Patron Monitoring Job Aid– How to use 90-second interval timer– How to use self-recording materials

The Intervention
• Graphic Feedback– Graph updated on a weekly basis– Provided visual feedback on
performance
Placed within sight of staff
I lovegraphic feedback!

And guess what…
• Patron monitoring improved!

Useful information
• Performance was calculated using the following formula:
R = Correct responses made by staff memberZ = (minutes patron viewed materials)x(60)I = Z/90 (I = possible intervals)
(R/I)x(100) = Percentage of correct responses
Questions about this?
10 correct responses = R
30 minutes patron viewed materials X 60 = Z
1800/90 = 20 possible intervals (Z/90)
10/20x100 = 50% of correct responses
![Page 28: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Recycle• During the second week of the
intervention, the patron request form was revised to facilitate longer stays
• A “Notes” section was also added so staff could note anything that may have affected their monitoring behavior
![Page 29: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Recycle
• And that was all that needed to be done to save the lives of thousands of books…
…and to help save the world with Behavior Analysis!

I.O.A.
• Jada-Rae helped me with I.O.A.– 100% for three sessions– She basically checked my math
![Page 32: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Social Validity
• Social Validity Surveys were given during the 4th week of the intervention
• Mixed results…

Good News!• Dr. Steuer loved the results so
much that she decided to make the intervention policy!
• Better yet… we will be co-writing an article for a library journal about the success that non-library students can bring to library systems– Not quite JOBM, but we’re getting
there…
![Page 41: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
And for Staff…• Staff members reported that
patron monitoring needed to increase, and that I was on the right track with my design
![Page 42: Increasing Patron Monitoring in a Library Setting Matthew Thornton Brodhead BSAP Spring 2007 Allison Mueller.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/5697c0021a28abf838cc34a0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
However…
That beeper is pretty
damn annoying…
It’s a small price topay for the greatergood of research…
DING!

Conclusion
• Everyone is satisfied with the results
• Library materials will live another dayAnd we didn’t even
have to shockanyone!
Oh dear…
