Does closed circuit television still apply? A utilization and management study.

A recent utilization study of the closed circuit television system conducted by the Visual Education Department, Medical College of Virginia Campus, Virginia Commonwealth University, revealed that most of the videotapes were played to the three major campus educational buildings. As a result of the study the university will continue CCTV service to classrooms and laboratories in these high-use buildings. However, in an effort to cut costs and manpower, TV self-service has been implemented or increased in three locations.

Management of a learning resource center: a seven-year study.

Data compiled over seven years present evidence that small-group or "cluster" carrels are successfully utilized by medical students in a learning resource center (LRC) and, therefore, should be considered to be an efficient method of managing space, software, and hardware. Three management concepts account for high utilization of an LRC operated as a service in support of a medical school curriculum. Of special importance is the interaction of LRC staff with faculty, which directly accounts for a collection relevant to the curriculum. The other management concepts are responsiveness to students and delivery of services that support production and distribution of print and audiovisual resources for student learning.

Profile, data, and management of two learning resource centers, 1970--1978.

Eight years' data have been collected in the operation of learning resource centers (LRCs) for medical and dental students at the Medical College of Virginia Campus, Virginia Commonwealth University. Data present evidence of high utilization of facilities and materials, including the successful use of small group cluster carrels. Management concepts and strategies to account for the data are identified and the LRC profile discussed for an understanding of how the strategies are implemented. These management concepts--responsiveness to students, interaction with faculty, and delivery of coordinated service--are transferable to other institutions and serve as guidlines for efficient management of LRC space, staff, equipment, and acquisition in support of medical and dental school curricula.
