Timeline
• Penrose Library, 1972• Planning for new library, 2002-2008• Authorization for project, 2010
• Smaller collection footprint• ALL collections to high-density storage during project
• Permanent storage = size-sorted• Temporary storage = call number sorted
• Break ground, July 2011

Main level• All services and seating• Staff areas
Lower level• 25000 sf of books• Some seating
Upper level• Seating and staff areas
Main level• Seating and service points

The Library Plan, orHow Do You Plan for 20%
•Assumptions:• Need recognizable rules• Provide collections for all disciplines• Take usage into account• Require minimal maintenance
![Page 13: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Library Recommendation (20%)
•Core collection:• Imprint date of 2003 and later in most disciplines
• Except those available as e-books.
• Five or more circulations since 1997, any imprint date
• 2900 LF of the art and art history books and journals
• Total: 19,900 LF
![Page 14: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Faculty Committee
Charge: to make a data-driven decision about the right mix of seating and collections on the lower level of the renovated library.
Representatives from (mostly) humanities and social sciences.
![Page 15: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The questions:
• What is the purpose of an on-campus collection?• What criteria should be used to shape an on-campus collection?
• (Why) should it be larger than 20% of the monographs proposed by the Chancellor and the Board?
• Which data should be considered in supporting recommendations?

On-Site Collection Goals?
• A starting point for undergraduate research papers• Serendipitous discovery (browsing) that will result in some material
• Immediate access for people who can’t wait to get something
• Something for everyone across all disciplines, supporting teaching
• Something for heaviest users: AHSS • Material to support research when only browsing works
![Page 32: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
THE SURVEY
![Page 33: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Faculty: why do you visit the print collection?
• Two dominant browsing patterns for faculty:• A known item search, then find additional material on the
shelf • Go directly to “your” shelf location to browse for materials
• In addition, it is common (48%) for faculty members to visit in order to look up something specific in a specific title.
![Page 34: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Students: Why do you go to the stacks?
• 14% do not use the print collection• 6% always use Request It• 67% browse for a course assignment• 44% browse for creative inspiration• 74% are going after a specific book• 41% need to look up a fact or passage in a book• 13% described other reasons
• Look for one book and find a lot of others• Reading for pleasure• Personal reading• Practicing language skills• To relax
![Page 35: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Faculty: collection use for research
• 65% say books are primary research resources.• 68% use books to find specific information • 66% use books to update or refresh knowledge and 80% use books to expand knowledge
• Comments illustrate very high levels of concern about these modes of inquiry becoming so inconvenient that
inquiry itself will be disrupted, reduced, or even impossible.
![Page 36: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
How many Linear Feet for assignments?
• Clearly, all books in each call number would not be needed, but that’s how we counted.
• We did not include responses such as “all collections” or “all literature.”
• We added up linear feet for topics specified by respondents.• All areas of the collection are used in teaching.
73,000 LF
![Page 37: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Faculty: What (specifically) should be returned to the new library?
70,041 LF
• Responses range from “everything” to “all literary criticism” to works by a specific author.
• Many responses show the extent to which teaching and research is interdisciplinary: gender studies, race studies, multicultural therapy, history of literacy, or church/art/social history.
• We excluded responses such as “all collections” or “all literature.”
![Page 38: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Faculty: when is a 3-hour delivery OK (i.e. what can be stored?)
• Some respondents said there is nothing for which a 3 hour delivery time is OK; it diminishes browsing.
• 49% said we could store anything that had never been checked out.
• 49% said low use books were OK to store. • 60% approve storing the paper version of an e-book.• 34% thought we could store the book if the catalog record includes a table of contents online.
![Page 39: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Key concepts from comments
• For some students and faculty little concern about storing collections.
HOWEVER• The vast majority of respondents, both students and faculty, very unhappy, worried, angry, upset, or concerned about the decision to store most of the book collections.
• Few worry about turnaround time; most regret loss of browsing.
![Page 40: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Key concepts
• Some collection uses CANNOT be done by requesting known items. Examples from the survey are:• Image/photo/illustration searching within books (hence our
recommendation that we return the art books)• Assessment of degree of difficulty of non-English Language fiction• Choosing older volumes on the basis of presentation (font, format)

THE DISCUSSION

What would a subject collection look like?
![Page 43: Levine-Clark, Michael, “Analyzing and Describing Collection Use to Inform Storage Decisions at the University of Denver,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5558afecd8b42aa52a8b4760/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
50% Scenario
• Would accommodate 39,500 LF• Subtracting the core collection of 19,900 leaves 19,600 for flexible collections.
• Seating loss (compared to the 30% scenario) of about 120 seats.
• Which 19,600 LF?
What data support this scenario?

Data Points
• 80% of circulation = books published in last 30 years• 40% of recent books will circulate 2 or more times• Users of visually-heavy material (especially art history) browse in ways that other disciplines don’t

older editions 32,000 LF
• Books published before 1983, checked out 2 or more times

• Easy: When it’s time to shift, search for iCode 10
• Fast: Allows staff to quickly meet space needs
• Policy-Driven: Based on established criteria
• Flexible: Code and note can be revised based on faculty or selector input
