24/7 Library - Investing for a Sustainable Future
Sally Bowler-Hill, George E. Hernandez, and Tim J. Mey
In April 2021, the UNM Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) opened its building 24/7 via badge access to affiliated students, faculty, and staff of the UNM Health Sciences Center. This change facilitated better access to study space, WiFi, and computing for students, while allowing for more consistent staffing during business hours. Data from before the change indicated reference services were rarely utilized after regular business hours. Concentrating staffing during business hours has allowed for more even staffing, providing a higher and more consistent level of service. HSLIC has also been able to recruit and retain more qualified candidates for its desk positions. This poster highlights building usage data since moving to 24/7 and also summarize lessons learned from the project.

Autonomous Space: Incorporating Concepts of Questioning into a Wellness Room
Varina A. Kosovich and Kelleen Maluski
When we discuss critical pedagogy much focus is given to the classroom and consultations, but at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) we have incorporated critical pedagogy into all our spaces. This incorporation extended to the creation of a wellness room for our users. Considering that “The prevalence of depressive symptoms among (health sciences) students was 12.9%, significantly higher than in the general population, and was 16.1% among female students versus 8.1% among males” and incorporating feedback from our users we believed that a space for private decompression and spiritual connection would be useful.* While we are aware that there are many systems of oppression within academia and the health sciences, and wellness cannot be shifted onto the individual, we wanted to provide resources to offset the typically high cost of wellness supplies, especially since we are located in a state that has a high level of poverty at a neoliberal institution with an extremely diverse population, including many first-generation students. With all of this in mind and engaging with concepts of anti-oppressive practice, feminist ethics of care, and considering the intersecting identities of our users, we worked to create a seed funding proposal to pilot a wellness room within the library. When the proposal was approved, work began to create an inclusive space that would help our users break down traditional concepts of work and study. Much consideration was given to the expressed needs of those with dis/abilities and neurodiversity and the concept of autonomous space. In this presentation we will discuss the decision making process, requesting a budget, the creation of the space, marketing, feedback received from users, and plans for updating and improving the space. There will be a substantial amount of time for Q&A after the presentation.

Continuing to Build Consensus Around the Future of Remote Work: One Library’s Study
Sally Bowler-Hill
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to explore and understand employee perceptions of remote work as a potential option for normal operations, based on experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic. Two surveys were administered, before and after developing a telecommuting and remote work guideline for the library.
METHODS: An 8-question, web-based survey was sent to all library faculty and staff in the spring of 2021, asking their opinions about working remotely on an ongoing basis. Questions included multiple choice and free-text responses about how often employees wanted to work remotely; what tasks they believed could be done productively from home; what equipment they needed at home; and what challenges they believed the library faced with employees working remotely. In March 2022, a follow-up survey was sent to assess employees’ experience with telecommuting or remote work since the library’s guidelines were implemented. The second survey included questions about telecommuting schedules, equipment needs, feelings about connectedness with the organization, and overall satisfaction with the hybrid work environment.
RESULTS: In the original survey, 85% of staff and faculty responded. All wanted to continue to work remotely part time after the pandemic. 65% preferred working from home 2-3 days per week. The challenges identified included staffing the building and the demand for in-person services. In the second survey, 86% responded. 58% work from home 2-3 days per week, and 84% were very satisfied with how the library implemented telecommuting schedules. Respondents commented that collaborating and balancing workloads worked better than expected. Communication, IT issues, and having the right tools in each location were among the challenges identified.
CONCLUSION: Responses to the first survey were very consistent overall, indicating broad consensus among faculty and staff about continued remote work. The follow-up survey showed continued satisfaction with the hybrid work environment. Neither staffing the building nor demand for in-person services were identified as challenges by respondents of the second survey. Comments about difficulty working with employees located both on-site and remote increased slightly. Additionally, the majority of respondents, 63%, reported they felt only somewhat connected to co-workers in their units and in the library overall; 37% reported feeling very connected. Time and further adjustments to organizational norms and processes may be needed to fully adjust the library to a hybrid work environment, towards improving the sense of connectedness.

Creating a Web Archive of the HSC Newsroom
Jonathan M. Pringle and Lori D. Sloane
Seed funding from HSLIC provided an opportunity to investigate how we could preserve dynamic web pages within the UNM Digital Repository while maintaining the look and feel of the original material. With our funding, we purchased a 1-year subscription to Archive-IT Pro (with technical support). This subscription allowed us to preserve the context and content of the HSC Newsroom, The Pulse, and other digital-born objects, meeting the creators where they were rather than conforming to the Repository's current structure.
