Success from Collaboration
• Why this presentation?• Often when collaboration is written or spoken
about in libraries it involves units outside the library
• This is to remind everyone that great things can be accomplished by working within the library regardless of many other obstacles

A quick history
• Post Katrina, the original library structure has been uninhabitable
• Since Katrina the library and it’s staff have occupied:o 1 trailero 1 trailer and a ¼ of a trailero 3 trailerso 1 room and a closeto 1 room and a closet and a semi-permanent home

Changes post Katrina
• There were retirements• There were budget cuts• There was new staff• Trailer or not we had big plans• We knew what we needed to do • We just needed to make it happen
![Page 7: Success stories lla 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558bfacd8b42a7e298b5345/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Always the optimists
• Understaffed• Day to day library operations are tiring and time
consuming• We had 3 trailers, finally some space• We still had big ideas and plans• We had great intentions
THEN

We are not feeling so well

Homeless
• The Director, the System Administrator and the Public Services staff were homeless
• Where could we go? • Our only option: 1 room and a closet

One room and a closet
• The Director, the Systems Administrator and the Public Services staff moved in with Tech Services
• We all shared 1 room and a closet• We brought our Reserve Collection with us and
that was it • We had very limited space for students• Most of us worked at lab tables BUT we finally
had the staff in the same place and the time to communicate with one another
