As a new research librarian and the sole librarian for agriculture and environmental science researchers at the University of California, Davis, I conducted a needs assessment of researchers within the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CA&ES). The motivation for this project arose after discovering that the most recent needs assessment had been conducted ten years prior and under a different library administration. Additionally, the previous needs assessment did not focus on the specific needs of agricultural researchers. Semi-structured interviews with faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars within the CA&ES were conducted, including an interview with the Associate Dean. Interview questions were divided into sections and covered topics including needs for basic research support services such as literature searching and database access, instruction, research data management, research impact, evidence synthesis, online scholarly presence, and research funding. Preliminary findings show numerous potential opportunities for increased engagement between the library and researchers within the CA&ES. Currently, the library’s strengths include new graduate student instruction and basic research support services such as literature searching and database access. Areas of improvement include research data management and evidence synthesis, which is primarily due to the fact that researchers are unaware that the library provides research support in these areas. Next steps for this project will include a SOAR analysis (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results) in order to elucidate the more nuanced needs of agriculture and environmental science researchers at UC Davis. The overall goal of the SOAR analysis will be to identify the specific needs that are currently being met and the potential opportunities for increased engagement with CA&ES and improvement of library services.
