An Analysis of the External and Internal Structure of the Suicide Information and Education Center

Findings indicate that overall the Centre (SIEC) is doing a good job as a library, as shown by user satisfaction & the comprehensiveness of the database. However, problems exist in the following areas: SIEC’s relationship with the other elements in the Alberta model, lack of agreement on how valuable SIEC is to the model, issues regarding funding, & SIEC’s future direction. Major recommendations call for a proper monitoring system, a needs assessment, & a long term strategic marketing plan. (WD)
