2007 SACSCOC Committee for Library and Other Learning Resources

Associate Library Director Ellen Safley led the Learning Resources team in its efforts to determine the adequacy of UT Dallas' support systems for student achievement. Simply, this team examined the McDermott Library, its holdings, its budget, its staff, and its program mission and goals to determine whether or not the Library met the needs of the UT Dallas student population and faculty. Beyond the Library, however, this team also reviewed the entire Information Resources (IR) program, including the computer labs, the wireless network, email systems, and even the UT Dallas web to identify the degree to which UT Dallas IR service not only met the needs of students but also provided adequate safeguards against internet-driven viruses and scams.
