Subject: Call for Speakers

The ALCTS Role of the Professional in Academic Technical Services 
Discussion Group is calling for speakers at its meeting at the ALA 
Midwinter Conference in New Orleans on Sunday, January 20, 2002 from 2:00 
p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The meeting will focus on issues and challenges facing technical services 
professionals in today's academic library environment.  Within this topic 
there are a variety of potential areas of discussion including, but not 
limited to: 1) the role of technical services professionals in responding 
to the budget and staffing challenges currently facing academic libraries; 
2) the relationship between professional and support staff in technical 
services; 3) the role of technical services librarians in planning for and 
managing change; 4) recruiting new technical services professionals; 5) 
planning for a smooth transition when long-term technical services 
professionals retire.

Each presentation should be approximately 15-20 minutes in length.  There 
will be a question and answer period and additional discussion following 
the presentations.

If you are interested in being a speaker for this meeting, please contact 
the chair, Mary Monson, at your earliest convenience.  Please include the 
proposed topic of your talk.
