“Opening Doors to Hidden Collections”
Dec. 8-9, 2009
E-forum runs 9-5 Eastern time each day (8-4 Central, 7-3 Mountain, 6-2
Pacific)
Moderated by JoAnne Deeken and Millie Jackson.
As discovery tools are overtaking the traditional catalog as the primary
face of libraries, much emphasis is being placed on unique materials and
hidden collections.
How do you define hidden collections? How would you describe them? How
do you provide access to hidden collections? What are the roles, if any,
of the traditional Technical Services and/or Collection Development
departments in providing access to these hidden collections? Do new
workflows or adjustments in staffing have to be made to accommodate the
work?
Join the discussion. Help answer these question and pose others. We have
the opportunity to reshape what a library is and does. Don't be passive.
Become an active voice in creating change. Help us shape the future.
Moderated by:
JoAnne Deeken is Head of Technical Services and Digital Access at the
University of Tennessee Libraries. She has been a librarian in Technical
Services for 25 years and has worked at 5 different university libraries
across the country. Most of her publications deal with the organization
of technical services. She is an active member of ALCTS, having served
on several committees and discussion (now interest) groups.
Millie Jackson is Associate Dean for Collections at The University of
Alabama. Previously she was Head of Collections at Florida State
University and held several positions in the library at Grand Valley
State University in Allendale, MI. She has published and presented on
workflow and electronic resources. She is currently the chair of ALCTS
CMDS Administration of Collection Development.
*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days.
