A Plan of Action for Organizing the Resources Found in the Virginia Division of Mineral Resources Library

by Hodkinson, Sarah Z.

This master’s project was intended to provide the Virginia Division of Mineral Resources (VDMR) in Charlottesville, VA with a plan of action for increasing the effectiveness of their library. The VDMR library should be the premier Geology library in the Commonwealth of Virginia, but they have not had a full-time librarian on staff since the mid 1990s, and very little has been done to maintain the library since that time. In this plan of action, basic library procedures have been outlined, along with a list of recommendations for maintaining and improving the library’s services.
