Paper 54.http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/lib_cd_impct/54LIBRARY IMPACT STATEMENT (New Course Proposal) LIBRARIAN’S ASSESSMENT  Subject selectors will complete this form as requested, assessing library materials and collections as detailed below.  Send one copy of the assessment to the faculty member who requested it.  Send one copy of the assessment to the Collection Management Officer.    Course:   HDF (number not yet assigned)  Department, College:   Human Development and Family Studies, Human Science & Services  Faculty Member:  Sue K. Adams  Date returned to Faculty:   23 September 2011  Librarian Completing Assessment:   Margaret J. Keefe  Collection Management Officer:  Johanna Burkhardt  This course synthesizes information already being taught in several courses, and is therefore adequately covered by library resources. The important development in this area is the addition of a computer lab to elaborate and emphasize the use of statistical packages, and it will therefore not change the Libraries response to the needs of the department.   Assessment of:  • Suitability of existing library resources; • New library resources required to support the program; • Information skills education required by the students; and • Funds needed for library materials and services.  Please include:  1. What library holdings already exist in relevant subject categories, including supporting collections from HELIN. How much money is now allocated in the program area?  There is quite a bit of materials both at URI and throughout HELIN on the topics included in this proposal. This is a good instance of the benefit of the hospital libraries being in the consortium! Material can be identified under the topics in the syllabus as well as under such diverse headings as Community health; Families—Psychological aspects; Family medicine; Health behavior; Preventive health services; Psychotherapy patients—Family aspects.  The current allocation for book materials in the Department is $5200.   2. Does URI have the essential journals as noted in the Faculty Questionnaire?   The one title listed  (Family and Community health) is available in hard copy from 1978-2006 and online from 1999 on.  3. What new resources are required to support the program (including media, electronic, or other non-print materials)?   Book material on the topics will be continually updated through HDF as well as other related funds such as NUR, PSY, SOC. The instructor reports that all non-print material can be accessed free from the internet.  4. What information mastery sessions will be required for the students?  If students need help in identifying and accessing journal literature, classes can be arranged.   5. What is the approximate cost to acquire the materials necessary? Which of these will be continuing costs?   There should be no costs beyond the annual allocation.
