As noted at Agenda Approval, Dwayne Farlo gave a presentation on Homer Electric's fiber optics project. He explained research on the fiber optics project began in 1995 and though the project was something unlike anything HEA had done in the past the Board committed to build a fiber optic infrastructure between Homer and Kenai by way of Soidoma and their generation plant north of town. Farlo explained, fiber optics was transmitting a signal through glass and that Homer Electric began using fiber optics for increased communications within their utility organization and also with their substations throughout the service area. Farlo demonstrated how fiber optics worked by passing around a casing or band width approximately two inches in diameter and containing 24 strands of fiber. He noted, this type of casing was suspended for 90 miles approximately two feet under the power lines from Homer to Kenai. HEA was only using two strands for themselves and had two as backup in case of power failure; leaving 20 strands for other communication use. He also passed out information comparing the old communication of transmitting signals through copper to the new fiber optics technology. Farlo noted more verbal communications, data communication, and video conferencing is available through fiber optics and expansion is unlimited. Farlo also noted, in the early stages of development HEA wanted to help the School District develop a communications technology that would allow their students to have the same opportunities of.other children in Seattle or San Francisco at a cost that they could afford. HEA contracted with the School District and leased the 20 strands (in the casing) to PTI first and later ATULD to be used for the Intemet for the schools. He noted, a network of 16 schools was scheduled to begin using this technology at the end of the week which would cover every school within two miles of the transmission line. With the technology, the Kenai Peninsula School District would be able to get more information than any other in the United States. Questions were asked as to whether HEA could hook the library up to their lines, but it was found they would be unable to do it. The library would need to speak with PTI about this hooking in. ITEM 5: REPORTS 5-a. Director - Jankowska reported she and Emily DeForest went to the Alaska Libraries Conference in Fairbanks and felt it was the best conference she had ever attended. She noted she would be meeting with the Finance Director and the City Manager to discuss the library's budget for the coming year and also discussed the memorandum in the Commission packet regarding library opening hours and use of staff hours. She passed out March's library calendar and discussed some of the events listed. In response to Dwayne Farlo's presentation, she felt it was very important the library upgrade their phone system and modem capabilities because they use the Intemet for almost everything they do. Chair Peters asked everyone to review the handout concerning FY01 Capital Budget Planning and to contact any of the legislators listed on the back for their comments. 5-b. Friends of the Library - Commissioner Brown reported the Friends membership information had been mailed out. She also reported, the tea introducing the Frances Meeks memorial book collection was very well attended. 5-c. City Council Liaison - Moore gave no report. ITEM 6' OLD BUSINESS Discussion -- Library Expansion LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES MARCH 7, 2000 PAGE 2 The Commission discussed the Kenai Library Needs Assessment and the floor plan for the proposed library addition which was included in the packet. Jankowska stated she hoped to spend more time researching needs for the proposed expansion. Discussion -- Student Library Survey Results Forbes and Haring distributed the findings of the student use survey of the library which involved KCHS, I<MS, KAHS and was presented in a colorful graph format. ITEM 7: NEW BUSINESS -- None. ITEM 8: COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS/0UESTIONS -- None. ITEM 9: INFORMATION Melinda Haring was welcomed as an official member of the Library Commission. Councilman Moore gave information on the I<enai golf course fees. Susan Kellerby was welcomed as the new recorder and Councilman Moore explained the minutes from now on would be more like Action minutes in an effort to cut costs and the time it takes to produce minutes. Chairman Bob Peters suggested that a thank-you note be sent to Dwayne Farlo for his presentation. ITEM 10: ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Commissioner Forbes MOVED to adjourn and Commissioner Hating SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 P.M. Minutes transcribed and prepared by: Susan Kellerby, Contract Secretary LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES MARCH 7, 2000 PAGE 3 DRAFT************DRAFT************DRAFT Kenai Library Commission Librar~ Student Su~ey 1999-00 The Kenai Library Commission surveyed public school students during the 1999-00 school year.. Students at Kenai Middle School (KMS), Kenai Alternative High School (KAS), and Kenai Central High School (KCHS) were included in the survey. This survey was conducted to track student use of public library materials and services, monitor effectiveness of library services among this age group, and strengthen library services for this user group if necessary. The principals at all three Kenai schools surveyed were definitely cooperative. All students in each building were surveyed in the class and time chosen by the building administrator. It should be noted that the Kenai Alternative High School does not have its own library. Questions pertaining to their school library or asking for a comparison of school and public library services are not applicable. It should, also, be kept in mind, that this survey only accounts for students in three ,schools in the City of Kenai. It does not include elementary school students. Nor does it include public school students outside of the city limits, or home school students. Answers, when expressed as percentages, sometimes total more or less than 100%. This is due to the effoct of rounding decimals. In some cases a small percentage of answers were uncountable due to a lack of response by the participant, or, in a very small percentage of c.~ses, due to non-responsive answers. This survey was conducted at three separate schools, with different student populations, and different school library facilities available to the student body. After much thought, it was decided that survey results among the differing age groups, student bodies, and developmental levels displayed interesting differences and commonalities. Therefore, instead of lumping the student surveys together, the results from each school will be presented by student body. Survey results will be presented question by question, with the results from each school displayed for the purpose of comparison. Student comments will also be kept separate according to participating schools. The student comment section will be presented at the end of this report. ********************************** DRAFT urvey Results 1999-00 Survey participation KMS KCHS KAS Student enrollment Students surveyed Per. centage surveyed 413 521 6O 297 369 39 72% 71% 65% Of the tOtal student population, almost 70% responded. It is commendable that so many student~ took the time to participate. 1. Do you use the Kenai Public Library? (If"No," answer no more questions.) Yes 73% (217) 71% (262) 62% (24) No 27% (80) 29% (107)' 38% (15) Nearly three quarters of high school and middle school students use the public library facility. Usage by altemative school students is about 10% less than the regular public school population. Since the altemative high school does not have its own library, classroom assignments may not necessarily require library research. It is satisfying to note that, even so, more than half of the alternative school students patronize the public library. 2. Please estimate how many times per month you use the public library'. Less than 1 x 19% (42) 12% (31) lx '28% (60) 41% (108) · 2x 21%(45) 19% (50) 3x or more 33% (70) 23% (61) 17% (4) 42% (10) 21% (5) 21% (5) Of the total number of students surveyed, 57% use the public library 1 to 2 times per month. Over 83% of all students responding use the library at least once a month. Also, 26% of all students use the library 3 or more times a month. The city library provides a well used public service for the intermediate and high schOol age population. *************************************** 3. Do you use your school library? KMS Yes 88% (190) No 8% (17) KCHS KAS 77% (202) na 22% (57) na This question was added for comparison purposes. Do students use both of the libraries available to them? As the figures show, an overwhelming number of students do use the Kenai Community Library as well as their school library. 4. Which library provides the most information or materials for school projects? School library 18% (40) 20% (52) na Public library 70% (152) 70% (183) na The public library does have a larger collection than the public school libraries. The public library also subscribes to more and different services, which may explain why the greater majority of students chose the public library. Students at both schools with libraries, definitely use the Kenai Community Library as an additional resource. 5. Does the public library provide sufficient work and study areas? Yes 93% (202) 91% (239) 96% (23) No 5% (1 O) 9% (23) 4% (1) The study tables and study area is used by more than 50% of all students su~eyed. While the greatest m~jority (93%) considered this area to be sufficient to student needs, several individual comments suggested more study area and private study areas for group study that would not disturb other patrons would be appreciated. 6. Does the public library provide sufficient resources for your academic' needs? Yes 90% (195) 89% (233) 83% (20) No 7% (16). 10% (27) 17% (4) Eighty-seven percent (87%) of all students surveyed, believed the public library provided adequate resources for academic purposes. A few students commented that they f~lt reference materials could be more recent. ********************************** DRAFT 7. Are you able to use internet/computer services when needed? KMS KCHS KAS Yes 78% (170) 85% (222) 86% (21) No 17% (36) 13% (35) 12% (3) While 83%, which is a large majority of all students surveyed, were satisfied with internet and computer services, this question generated less approval than Questions #5 and #6. Another way to look at it, is that more students are dissatisfied with intemet and computer services. Individual student comments requesting more and faster computer terminals, might suggest a need to expand and improve technology in these areas of service. 8. Please check the box to indicate which of the following collections or services you use. (Note: Results of the regular patron survey will also be displayed for comparison as there are some interesting differences.) Fiction books Non-fiction books Reference books Newspapers Magazines Typewriters Photocopiers Computer- internet Computer- word processing Electronic databases Audiotapes Videotapes Interlibrary loan service Study tables KMS KCHS KAS Adult 86% 79% 71% 87% 76% 68% 58% 71% 49% 71% 50% 71% 17% 19% 33% 36% 46% 44% 79% 54% 10% 4% 17% 20% 23% 47% 50% 42% 55% 55% 63% 35% 36% 23% 17% 19% 7% 21% 12% 16% 21% 15% 12% 29% 35% 18% 17% 53% 5% 2% 8% 26% 49% 54% 63% 32% · 58% of all students surveyed use the intemet services compared to 35% of adults. This is probably the result of increased instruction using computer technology in the schools recently. · 55% of students use the study tables compared to 32% of adults. Students may use · library facilities for study, group projects, and social opportunities. · Although the fiction book collection was the most frequently used collection when all students are considered, 11 to 15% more KMS students use the fiction book collection than.high school students. The middle school format includes a regular reading program, which may help explain this figure. · More KMS students use the non-fiction book collection than high school students or adults surveyed. Again class assignments may explain the different usage figures. · 21% more students at KCHS use reference materials when compared to KMS and KAS students. This may reflect the type and quantity of school assignments. · 33 to 35% more KAS students, than KCHS or KMS students, use the magazine collection. 25% more KAS students use the magazine collection than participants in the general *************************************** patrons survey. The magazine collection, used by 79% of KAS students, was selected most often when students were asked to indicate which services and collections they used. · 11 to 16% more KAS use the newspaper collection than other public school students included in the survey. · Kenai middle and high school students use word-processing services more frequently than patrons in the general survey. · $ to 19% fewer KAS students use computer word-processing services as the other two student populations, but 7 to 13% more KAS students use the typewriters. · More middle school students use the video and audiotape collections than high school students. · High school students use the photocopier service even more frequently than adults. 9.

KCHS and KMS students were more dissatisfied with all elements included in this survey. It is interesting to note that while KAS students were least satisfied with assistance from library employees and the reference desk, ease of finding materials, and computers, they most closely approximated results from the general survey in all other categories. An average of 29% of all students surveyed, were least satisfied with ease in finding materials. I would venture to guess that the public library offers more materials that are unfamiliar to students, as well as being provided in a format or technology not available in their school libraries. The cutbacks that have been required in public education also means that students are receiving less training in library skills at the elementary level. Perhaps more upper elementary and middle school teachers need to be encouraged to bring students to tour the public library so students may become more familiar with materials and services available. Short sessions could be offered to various age groups to provide training in library usage. (If these could be worked into an already busy schedule with fewer volunteer hours.) One third to one quarter of KMS and KCHS students were not satisfied with library hours. Student comments mention their wish to have the library open later in the evenings so as to have more time after extra-curricular activities. While this is a valid concern since many of our students are very involved in a variety of activities, an extension of library hours is not .possible at this time. Changes have already occurred in library hours so as to have sufficient employee coverage of higher traffic hours. The current budget and manpower is not available to extend hours. One fifth of all students surveyed were dissatisfied with assistance from library employees and 17% were not satisfied with assistance from the reference desk. Perhaps part of the problem is due to student expectations. Many times when they ask for help, they are actually expecting library employees to "do it for them," rather than getting the directions to help themselves. Offering short training sessions in libra~ usage might help this problem, also. Eighteen percent of all students surveyed were not satisfied with computers and computer services. Modern students will be more exacting than the general population at this time. The future is only going to bring increased expectations for these services. More and more libra~ patrons are growing-up in the age of technology and telecommunications. We must be aware of this trend if we plan to meet the increased expectations. KMS and KCHS students were several times more dissatisfied with the elements of noise level, lighting, and temperature. The library has already 6 *************************************** received new lighting, and the majority of patrons are definitely satisfied. 10. Do you think the library building needs to have an addition built? KMS KCHS KAS Yes 66% (144) 59% (155) 75% (18) No 37% (80) 36% (95) 25% (6) No response 14% (30) 4% (10) 0 Student opinion speaks for itself. Again it is interesting to note that the KAS students' Opinions most closely matches opinions expressed in the general survey. In the 1999 general survey of patrons, 75% of all participants supported libra~ expansion. stUdent Comments 1999-00 Kenai Middle School · All of the supplies I need are all at the library. I luv the library because I like to read a lot so I go to the library every other Sunday. I like the workers because al_.[I of them am kind and nice. Hope you guys are having a nice day. P.S I think that them should be more books than what you already have. So that means maybe another addition, maybe. · I love reading. · Good jobl But some workers are rudel · I'm quite satisfied*with both libraries. I think it would be nicer if the school library had information computers like the public library has, so you can enter a title, author, or type of book your looking for. · I think that the library is good because they have better books. · The temperature is sometimes too hot or too cold. The light is really bright. I like it them because it helps me with my homework. · I couldn't think of anything that I think you should change about your library. · The library is a good place to get resources. They have good books. But they should have more videos. · I like your library because you got more books and theirs a lots of room so everybody can fit in their! *************************************** · I like the library because you have books that the school doesn't have. It is a nice place to study and the computers are very helpful. But I don't ever really get to go there. When my parents say I need to do something educational I play a good game on the computer. Maybe you should start renting computer games. Or have games people. can play on your computers. · I think that the Public Library should have holiday parties. It might be fun to do for the little kids and maybe you could have one for the big kids, too. · I think the library should add another hour, I mean, when people go to school they sometimes have sports after school, and after they get done sometimes the library is closed, or a student might go home, but they may need to wait for their parent to get off work. · It's not easy finding books all the time because they are mixed up a lot. on the other side of the room. So,times they are · Computer games/networking in separate area. Snack place/food (not allowed in main library. Make stuff easier to find. More multimedia..Ask, 'May I take you to that book section?" · Some more magazine selections and more books on certain authors (more detail). · It's kind of crammed. · i don't think you should have to have an I.D. to check out a book. · More intemet terminals, more lighting, better service, maybe some better working employees. Gmat library though. · You should get more computers, and should be able to stay on the internet longer. · Lar.qe print copies of books. More books. · Get more good books. · More magazines for teens and young children. · I don't want a library, i want a ice rink! · I do not want an addition on the library now. think it would be better for Kenai. I want the ice dnk finished before the library, I · t don't want the library bigger. I want the ice rink finished!;!lil! · I don't know ! only go their in the summer to skate board on Sundays what do you think Kenai Central High School · I like your children's section. · Nice facility. · The public library has a good variety of books to choose from. · Your library could use more tables and a separate area for people that need to talk in order to not disturb people around us. 8 *************************************** · I believe the public library needs to add more autobiographies and a special section for them. They also need to expand the building to support more books. You should connect all the Kenai libraries together on the same computer system so you don't have to go to each library to see if it has the book you need. Maybe even all the ones in Soldotna and Kenai on the same system. I know from experience it works great! · I believe that instead of spending money on an addition, utilize the funding to replace out of date non-fiction and fiction books. Newer books with better color photos, newer information, etc. (An example: Dorling Kindersley) · SAT and ACT practice stuff would be great. · More sports autobiographies (figure skaters), more search computers ('specially in the summer), more internet terminals (summer at leastl), more room in between shelves, and more step stools l · I like the Cliff notes, SAT tests, etc. Those are all beneficiary. · Please put paperbacks on computerized car catalog. · Duplicate copies of novels. · Get more Stephen King. · Duplicate copies of most of your most read fiction books. · Duplicate copies of books. · My suggested library hours' 3-7 p.m. · I think that the library should have better assistance, the people there seem really rude and I hate going there because of them, but I do because ~ they have a lot of references. It is also way too cold in the library. I have to wear my coat the whole time. The library hours should be at least till 7:00 p.m. because some have sports and other things that run till after 5:00 p.m. · Have mom books by Sidney Sheldon. · I think they should start speeding up the internet connections, so when you need to do research on it, it doesn't take so long. I think the library should be open longer. It seems that when you really need to use it, it's closed. · More computers (and more time to be on them). More librarians who like helping people and who aren't jerks when you ask them a question, or who aren't jerks at all. That would be nice. More books of witchcraft, yoga, Satanism, meditation, religion, and Wicca (ore else I'll put a spell on you!! waahahaha). More copies of books. Turn the heat up. Need private study areas. Stay open longer, till 9 or 10. Some people like to come in and read later at night. You should consider them, too. · More computers for internet or typing use. · More net services. Cliff notes would help. · I believe the public library needs longer hours, especially on Friday and the weekend. · Library hours are too short. Some students have sport or academic clubs after school that run late. The library is closed by the time I'm done at school. More internet ********************************** DRAFT computers would be nice. The library should make a monthly featured book list with 5 or so books from each book section. Eg: Adult fiction/non-fiction, juvenile fiction/non- fiction, poetry, cooking, children's, etc. · Library could improve with more books both fiction and non-fiction, more internet accessible computers, study areas, secluded children's area. · When copying papers it is good to use both sides of the paper. The price should be $.25 for copying the front side and the back side. Then people will have a reason to save paper, by using both sides of the paper.
