Academic Technical Services Discussion Group Meeting at ALA 2001 in San
Francisco.
Location: Pan-Pacific Hotel, Olympic A
Date and Time: Sunday, June 17, 2001, 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
TOPIC: The "graying" of technical services professionals in Academic
libraries: what it means and what can we do about it
* 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?

Leah Black, Assistant Acquisitions Librarian, Michigan State University
Elizabeth G. McClenney, Associate Librarian for Technical Services,
