Note from the Dean

Dear friends,

I am pleased to present you with Temple University Libraries' first-ever annual report, which chronicles our portfolio of accomplishments over the past two fiscal years (July 2015–June 2017) and the ongoing evolution of our library enterprise.

Libraries are fundamental social and cultural institutions, and there is today a renewed sense of their relevance as vital environments for learning, exploration, and the creation of new knowledge. This is especially evident at Temple, as we work to realize our vision for the 21st century academic library from the ground up, with the construction of our new central library.

Yet, our broader vision recognizes that a library is not simply an inert structure–it is defined by the people in it and the activities that take place therein. We look forward to evolving our important, unique work as an academic library and intellectual center for our community, as we support and reflect Temple's essential commitments as an urban research university to education and scholarship, community engagement, diversity, and making learning accessible.

As we continue to grow and transform, our staff remains committed to providing fundamental services, steadily expanding and sharing our collections, engaging our communities, and supporting and publishing high-caliber scholarly work. This report highlights these ongoing and growing efforts, in addition to major news stories and accomplishments, statistics and assessment in action, the professional development work our library staff engage in, and the generous support provided by our donors and friends over the past two years.

At this important moment for the Libraries, we also pause and recognize our beginnings and continual growth, which is visually represented on our history timeline. I hope you will join me in celebrating the Libraries' vibrant past, present, and future.

With warm regards,

Joe Lucia
Dean of University Libraries

The Evolution of Temple University Libraries

The story of Temple University Libraries begins in 1892. Inside a row house on Park Avenue, faculty, students, and friends created our first library with donations from their own book collections. Since then, the Libraries have undergone constant evolution: expanding resources, opening new locations and spaces, cultivating unique special collections, developing vital services, and embracing emerging technologies. You can view this storied history, along with our continuing transformation, on our History of Temple University Libraries timeline (pp. 6-15).

A library is about its people and community

Over the past two years, the Libraries have hired over 30 staff members to fill both crucial vacancies and new, strategically developed positions. Some of these new positions enhance capacity for digitization and digital projects, such as mobile applications and online discovery modules. Other new positions report across departmental lines and strengthen intraorganizational cooperation, such as the Library Publishing and Scholarly Communications Specialist, who works across the Libraries and Temple University Press. The Libraries have also created opportunities for emerging leaders, launching a Council for Library and Information Resources Fellowship and two-year librarian residencies for promising, early-career professionals.

We have also continued to evolve services for students, faculty, and community members, as we work to increasingly optimize the user experience, efficiently connect patrons with the help they need, and provide open access to our facilities and resources. Recent developments include increased public computing stations for our neighbors and an expanded suite of research consultation services. And, in order to best serve our communities, we have developed a culture of assessment to measure our work, our effectiveness, and our progress.

Connecting with and deepening the academic mission of the university

The Libraries play a vital role in supporting and extending the university's academic mission. Our growing Special Collections bring our unique, rare materials to life in the learning environment. The Libraries' subject librarians have become progressively active members of the teaching and learning community and have implemented new consultation and outreach initiatives. And, our robust Beyond the Page public programming series has provided a host of educational and cultural experiences for our patrons.

In addition, the Libraries increasingly value accessibility and openness. We offer our patrons on- and off-campus access to an expanding number of journals, databases, and eBooks, as we also advocate for the sharing of information, access without barriers, and the use of open textbooks. And, together with Temple University Press, we are evolving our role in scholarly communications at Temple.

The Press has been embedded within the Libraries since 2010, and the past two fiscal years have brought that collaboration into sharper focus. With a strong reputation as a prominent voice for socially engaged scholarship, the Press is a leading publisher of books in the social sciences and the humanities, as well as books about Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley region. Most recently and under the direction of Dean Joe Lucia, the Press and Libraries have worked on joint strategic planning to best employ each other's strengths and support preserving, disseminating, providing access to, and publishing scholarly work.

For example, the newly created Library Publishing and Scholarly Communications Specialist role has allowed the Press and Libraries to work together to leverage shared skills to support the scholarly communication needs of Temple students and faculty. And, with a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Libraries and Press hosted the first-ever Publishers Reporting to Libraries (P2L) Summit, which places us at the forefront of press-library collaborations.

Our work has also encompassed a multitude of other fluid, collaborative projects. From our formative work in creating PA Digital as the Commonwealth's contribution to the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), to our library publishing initiatives, to our newly launched Library Search, to the opening and fostering of the Digital Scholarship Center, to our Knight Foundation Award to explore preserving open civic data, the Libraries are poised for a rich, innovative future. Read more about these and other exciting initiatives and projects in the Libraries' Major News Round Up on pp. 18–21.

The 21st century library: a physical manifestation

Not only are we envisioning what the 21st century academic library can be–we are in the process of building one. Set to open in 2019, this extraordinary new building is designed by world-renowned architecture firm Snøhetta, and will be a dynamic and innovative space dedicated to broadening learning, inspiring creativity, and building community.

Several key strategic goals guide the new library's design, including more than doubling the seating capacity of the current main campus library and offering a variety of forward-thinking, technologically sophisticated spaces. The new library will also collocate academic services and employ a variety of strategies for storing, accessing, and preserving our robust special and general collections like never before. And, as a first for Temple's central library, the building will also boast prominent, dedicated programmatic space and outdoor areas for gathering and learning.

We look forward to keeping you updated as Temple University Libraries' story continues evolving, as we build on our important mission and work, and as our enterprise finds its new home in this groundbreaking building.

Temple's New Central Library Vision Statement

A catalyst for learning and intellectual engagement, the Temple University Library cultivates and supports scholars and the scholarly enterprise, connecting people and ideas in a compelling resource- and service-driven environment.

Calling its diverse communities together for inquiry and exploration, interaction and study, this evocative building inspires the discovery, creation, preservation, and sharing of knowledge.

Recently Digitized Collections

The Libraries are invested in making an increasing number of our materials freely accessible and discoverable worldwide through digitization projects. Digitization, which requires ample staff and technical resources, along with external funding, is an important part of the Libraries' mission to ensure the growing accessibility of our extensive materials. Below are just some of the unique primary historical and cultural resources recently added to our Digital Collections:

Working in concert with Digital Library Initiatives, the Special Collections Research Center completed the Steamship Ticket Purchase Ledgers (a part of the Hebrew Immigrant Society archives in the Philadelphia Jewish Archives) digitization project and made significant additions to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin and Temple University History digital collections. The SCRC also added the following new digital collections:

  • Ambler Campus History
  • Levy Family Papers
  • New Module in Civil Rights in a Northern City on the Philadelphia Transit Strike of 1944

The Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection completed the "African American Migration to Philadelphia Oral Histories" project, which involved audio transcription and digitization of 269 interviews recorded between 1987 and 1988. These interviews were made possible through a grant awarded to Charles L. Blockson by Mayor John Street's administration and the William Penn Foundation. Other recently digitized collections include:

  • The Stereotypical Images Teaching Collection, which is a teaching image collection designed to provide resources for faculty and students studying historical representations of various cultural and ethnic groups

Librarian-Faculty Partnerships: A Collaboration Story

When Reference Librarian Rebecca Lloyd, subject specialist for History, Latin American Studies, Spanish & Portuguese, attended a presentation by the Wiki Education Foundation on integrating Wikipedia projects into the classroom, she knew she wanted to put her newfound knowledge to work and collaborate with a faculty member on a pilot project.

Rebecca reached out to the Spanish department's Professor Patricia Moore-Martinez, and together, the two devised a semester-long research and writing project for students to create or edit existing Wikipedia entries related to food topics for Patricia's Eating Cultures course. According to Rebecca, the nature of the project "strongly motivated students to do substantive research and to use reputable library resources, because they knew their work would reach a broad, public audience."

Throughout the semester, Rebecca provided crucial support for identifying and using relevant sources. Rebecca also sought the assistance of Instruction Librarian Caitlin Shanley, who is well versed in Wikipedia editing, to organize library workshops for the class on Wikipedia principles and technical dimensions of the editing process.

This project allowed students to see Wikipedia from multiple angles: from the potential pitfalls such as the lack of citations and thin or weak entries, to the benefits of its strong community and potential to reach a wide audience. Ultimately, the project provided a fuller picture of what Wikipedia is and its uses for certain types of research.

As the first faculty-librarian partners at Temple to work on a Wiki project, Rebecca and Patricia presented at Temple's Teaching with Technology Symposium, and encouraged other Temple faculty to embrace similar projects in order to build information literacy skills and foster real-world applicability.

Student/Donor Quotes

  • Evan Thomas, Undergraduate Student: I discovered that the library has a makerspace and I'm an engineering major so I am obsessed with makerspaces...And I feel like it's very beneficial for students to be focused on hands-on learning, because that's the way I learn...for someone like me who's very tactile–let's build something, take it apart, mess up, and just have to throw everything away and start over–a makerspace is a perfect place for that.
  • Hasan Zaidi, 2017 Livingstone Undergraduate Research Award winner: Subject librarians helped me "navigate the veritable labyrinth of resources that this library offers."
  • Michael Glass, Graduate Student: I'm a graduate student here at Temple, and I work on philosophy, in a very specialized field...The library's been very helpful in trying to get me the resources I need, especially Fred Rowland, subject librarian in Philosophy...The library has access to a large amount of literature, so essentially this field which otherwise would be prohibitively expensive becomes possible for people like me to pursue because of access to the library.
  • Estelle R. Alexander, CLA '69, Library Board of Visitors member, and Gerson J. Alexander, CLA '65, Donors:We support Temple University Libraries through the Estelle R. & Gerson J.

This figure is 10% higher than other research institutions responding to the natural survey.
  • Ambler Campus Library was active in the development and preparation for Temple's exhibit at the 2017 Philadelphia Flower Show. Library staff helped provide information that inspired the exhibit title, "Nieuwpolders: Regenerating the Dutch custom of land recovery," and also gathered materials for students to help them visualize and build their particular section of the exhibit, which won five major awards.

The First P2L Summit: What We Learned

Academic libraries and presses have long shared a common mission: to collect, preserve, and disseminate information and scholarship. And, as publishing and digital scholarship evolves, Temple leverages this shared mission through aligning our Press with our Libraries.

According to Mary Rose Muccie, executive director/scholarly communications officer of Temple University Press, collaborations between libraries and presses allow for a shared understanding of the challenges the other is facing in today's academic and publishing environments. And, we actively seek to engage in conversations with other institutions employing these partnerships.

In May 2016, Temple University Libraries and Press hosted the first-ever P2L (Publishers Reporting to Libraries) Summit in Philadelphia. Generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and co-sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries, the Association of American University Presses, and the Coalition for Networked Information, the summit brought over 20 teams of university library and press directors together to discuss library-press partnerships.

Muccie and Temple's Dean of Libraries Joe Lucia served on the summit program committee and co-authored a follow-up report, along with colleagues Elliot Shore of the Association of Research Libraries, Clifford Lynch of the Coalition for Networked Information, and Peter Berkery of the Association of American University Presses.

This report, titled "Across the Great Divide," addressed areas for understanding each other's skills and initiatives, as well as recommendations for future library-press collaborations, ranging from integrating press and library staff, to working jointly to create open educational resources, to developing a shared approach to digital scholarship. A future summit (P2L2) will build upon this collaborative work, inviting a broader audience and developing strategies for increasingly effective and meaningful partnerships.

Day-To-Day with DPLA and PA Digital

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is a collaborative project that brings together records for digital objects, such as digitized historical photographs, manuscripts, video, and audio, from cultural institutions all over the country into one, free, easy-to-access portal. Temple University Libraries play a highly active role in managing Pennsylvania's first-ever central hub, PA Digital, whose partners also include the State Library of Pennsylvania, The Pennsylvania State University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Free Library of Philadelphia, among others, and which gathers digital items from all over the Commonwealth to channel into the larger DPLA collection.

Library staff members Delphine Khanna, head of Digital Library Initiatives, along with Rachel Appel, digital projects and services librarian, Leanne Finnegan, database management librarian, and other staff members, are helping to shape PA Digital's portal and user experience. Together, they work on outreach, data quality, technical infrastructure, social media, and day-to-day project management.

For example, Rachel Appel and Leanne Finnegan take the point position in helping institutions format their metadata, so that their items are findable and accessible. Leanne also volunteers for a national metadata quality working group, to help create guidelines for all hubs around the country to use, and Rachel participates in a national-level rights management group focused on making it easier for students, researchers, and other users to reuse digital objects in their own scholarly work and projects.

According to Delphine Khanna, Dean Joe Lucia has "identified this project as strategically important to the mission of the Libraries," and we will continue to invest resources in this initiative to increase accessibility of local and regional materials.

Currently, PA Digital has links to over 214,000 digital objects from 38 contributing institutions around the Commonwealth. Visit dp.la and padigital.org to explore materials and learn more about this incredible project.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Temple University Libraries

Temple University Libraries are immersed in a time of great promise. We are at the forefront of new kinds of work that will propel our enterprise into its new, forward-thinking space, as we envision and realize the rich, exciting, creative future of the Libraries and the Press.

Our dedicated, talented staff members are leading the charge. On these pages, several library staff members share emerging and evolving trends and priorities they see in their areas of expertise, both at Temple University Libraries, and, more widely, in the field of academic libraries.

"A library is a product of collective imagination, a shared space for building together a sense of purpose and mission, always undergoing revision and change." –Dean Joe Lucia

Steven Bell, Associate University Librarian:
"I recognize a number of valuable priorities and trends at our Libraries, such as the deeper integration of the Libraries into teaching and learning at the university, an increased focus on designing a better user experience, building relationships with students and measuring student success, championing open access, and shifting focus from the consumption of library content to the creation of new content."

Justin Hill, Department Head, Access Services:
"I have noticed a rethinking of consortial relationships as a way to expand and build on existing programming. Consortial agreements have traditionally been centered around interlibrary loan activities but have recently been expanding to include programming, collection development, and on-site access to partner institution patrons. Efforts towards having large scale shared collections with partner libraries and using that to effectively manage space constraints are emerging as institutions are banding together under regional consortia to work together building collections."

Delphine Khanna, Head of Digital Library Initiatives:
"An important recent trend is to aggregate academic libraries' digitized rare and unique materials at the national (and eventually international) level with projects like the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), which aims at presenting all those collections in one single site for easier discoverability. In a similar vein, making sure that digitized collections are discoverable through generic search engines such as Google is key, since only a small portion of our potential users start their search on the library's website. In terms of content, there is an increased emphasis on making sure that digitized collections reflect a diversity of points of view and document the history of underrepresented groups. Another aspect of libraries' current work is to preserve "born-digital" materials, such as word documents, spreadsheets, digital maps, or datasets. A good example of that are partnerships between libraries, local governments, and nonprofits to preserve "civic data" that document a community's access to education, local transportation systems, voting patterns, health facilities, and other essential information for citizens and researchers."

David Lacy, Director of Library Technology and Knowledge Management Services:
"Libraries are in a state of perpetual change, continually rethinking organizational systems for collections, services, and staff. Currently under construction, Temple's new library will be furnished with an Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), a high-density storage system equipped with a robotic retrieval component that successfully repurposes large percentages of space typically reserved for shelves, converting it into collaborative and quiet study environments. This new approach to storage and delivery provides us with both a challenge in affording discovery of our books and resources, and with a wonderful opportunity to revise legacy mechanisms governing access and discovery by breaking with conventional order and exploring exciting new conventions in Virtual Browse, freeing our resources from the rigid organizational model enforced by shelves."

Mary Rose Muccie, Executive Director/Scholarly Communications Officer, Temple University Press:
"The number of university presses reporting to their university's library, as has been the case at Temple for nearly a decade, continues to grow. In particular, the area of scholarly communication has become an opportunity for presses and libraries to use their distinct skills and strengths and move toward a unified system of publication, dissemination, access, and preservation. Such a system better serves both the university and a press's wider audience of scholars, students, and the general public. Here at Temple, the Press and Libraries have partnered to create formal and informal programs and services in support of scholarly communication. Recent examples include the founding of and ongoing support for Maneto, an online journal of peer-reviewed undergraduate research created and edited by students; support for a digital supplement to a Temple faculty member's book, the print version of which was published by the Press; and educational presentations to the university community on issues in scholarly publishing. This list will grow as the Press and Libraries collaborate on more services that leverage their skills and expertise to support scholarship."

Nancy Turner, Assessment and Organizational Performance Librarian:
"There are multiple areas of innovation and strategic priorities driving Temple Libraries forward, including the Digital Scholarship Center, which continues to develop new workshops and programs, the Innovation Center at the Ginsburg Health Sciences Library, and scholarly communications initiatives such as education about open access and open educational resources. Other strategic focus areas are learning support and student success; research data management services; instruction, outreach, and communications; and collection development strategy."
