The Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) has revised its
Five Year
Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Plan to include the
following
goals:
- Improve current telecommunications system to adequately support
ILS operations and access to online databases and other online
resources in llibrary facilities.
- Develop and promote an appropriate collection of databases
and other online resources which complement and supplement
physical library collections, especially for small branch
libraries, and provide 24/7 virtual collections to anyone with
an HSPLS library card and Internet access.
- Continue to expand self-service, privacy-enhancing, and
personalized service options to address short staffing and
revolving door vacancies, improve services, empower users, and
free staff from routine duties and focus on enhanced and more
complex customer services.
- Deliver desired materials to customers in a timely, efficient, and
user-friendly way.
- Provide library services and collections to
unserved and underserved
communities and diverse populations. Provide access to services
for persons
with Limited English Proficiency (LEP).
- Implement a staff intranet and other staff
productivity tools to optimize limited staff resources to
provide public library services and collections in an efficient,
effective, and fiscally sound manner.
