The E-Quality Service Model The E-Quality Service Model strives to achieve excellent patron services to remote users as well as traditional face-to face users. * There are six components that comprise the philosophy of this model. * The model is used as a guide for analyzing services

The E-Quality Service Model ~ Collaboration ~ * Circulation and Reference are interdependent. * No committee? No problem. * Size doesn’t matter—dedication level does

The E-Quality Service Model ~ Communication ~ * Overload? When reading feels like a full-time job… Reference and Circulation can communicate via: ~ Wiki ~ Blog ~ Discussion boards or forums ~ Face to face (coffee or lunch)

The E-Quality Service Model ~ Professionalism ~ * Netiquette – Encouraging “tone of voice” in electronic communication * Service – Be aware of policies that dictate procedures in both departments

The E-Quality Service Model ~ Staffing ~ * Is there sufficient staff to carry out proposed services? * Representatives from Circulation and Reference who can: ~Explain and market proposed services to staff ~Interact with patrons frequently

The E-Quality Service Model ~ Marketing ~ * How do you market to users that you do not see? ~ Outreach department; seek their feedback about marketing ~ Promotional items (buttons, bags, bookmarks with logo) ~ Contact the departments and faculty who are involved with distance education Example: Center for Distributed Learning (

The E-Quality Service Model ~ Assessment ~ * What works? What doesn’t? ~ Traditional assessment may not work for distance education students * Alternative assessment ideas: ~ Electronic survey ~ Online quizzes and games ~ Give a webcast and ask for feedback discussion board or a blog

The E-Quality Service Model ~ Suggestions ~ * Request feedback from peers (include G.L.A.s) * Be proactive. Have alternative plans. Be prepared to change. * Realize that respective departments have unique goals based on the strategic plan
