摘要
The Robert W. Woodruff Library at Emory University is working on a project to merge its reference, circulation and technology help desks into one service point. The timeframe to implement this project is very short. Therefore, reference staff, working with circulation staff, have developed quick methods to analyze existing data and quickly gather new data to help inform decision-making about staffing levels, training, and a location for the new service point. This paper is a case study detailing some of the methods and processes used by staff to make decisions.
