A New Vision

Rev. Jonathan C. Roach, Ph.D.

Library Administrator

PhD, Practical Theology, St. Thomas University

MDiv, Ecumenical Theological Seminary

MLIS, Wayne State University

BA, Anderson University

The Rev. Jonathan C. Roach, Ph.D. started in his role as Library Administrator at St. Thomas University on

December 1st, 2009. In the spring of 2010, he brought together a committee of faculty, staff, and students

to create a new vision for the University Library at St. Thomas University.

This new vision is more than a “facelift”—it is a comprehensive plan to enhance how we look, and

conceptualize our collections and services, and carry out our mission and vision. It is a vision that engagesthe latest in library design for physical and electronic spaces by applying learning space theory that

revitalizes and positions our library among the best in higher education.

The University Library Commons engages a holistic re-visioning of how St. Thomas University fosters

learning through library design, collections, and services that integrate learning theory and practice, high

quality digital and print information, and technology in physical and online environments. It is a variety of

spaces that encourages collaboration, creativity, and leadership through shared learning, and fexible work

environments, and social spaces. These spaces, including our Learning Lab, Collaboration Commons, and

study rooms, feature designs and technologies found in the real-world settings that our students will one

day encounter.

The University Library has made steady progress on this vision since the spring of 2010, building one new

study room out of a storage closet, and remodeling another to create a gaming area that supports classes

in gaming theory taught by the School of Leadership Studies. We have also dramatically increased our

e-book collection from 30,000 volumes in 2010 to 117,222 volumes in 2013, and refreshed our services,

leading to a dramatic increase in the number of people using the University Library (from 151,348 in

2010 to 316,709 in 2012), added a mobile app for library users, established a strong digital presence on

the web, and increased the number of events we host from 3 to 31 in the last year.

Now, we want to take this vision to the next level

with large projects that cannot be accomplished by

repositioning our annual budget. Will you join us?
