The ALCTS Role of the Professional in Academic Technical Services
Discussion Group is looking for speakers for the 2001 ALA Annual
Conference in San Francisco.
TOPIC: The "graying" of technical services professionals in Academic
libraries: what it means and what can we do about it
Some areas that speakers might wish to address include:
* What happens when the professionals with all of the experience
retire and no younger librarians have learned the operation?
* What happens when technical services professionals are moved into
management positions and no new, entry-level librarians have been hired ?
* What can we do now to ensure that we have the necessary expertise in
Technical Services to address future needs? Do we need to examine the
way we advertise and recruit new Technical Services professionals?
* Other related topics ???
The Discussion Group will meet on Sunday June 17, 2:00-4:00 p.m. The
format includes two or three 20 minute presentations followed by
discussion.
If you are interested in this speaking opportunity, please reply directly
to the Chair, Vicki Grahame as soon as possible.
