Library technical services have been undergoing radical changes and are
facing new challenges due to shrinking budgets, reduced positions, new
E-formats and technology. Shifting priorities and seeking innovative
approaches and workflows are critical in meeting these challenges. The
discussion will cover topics and ideas for solutions to some of the
challenges we face.
Table topics include:
Aligning technical services with library initiatives
Applying new technologies to improve workflows
Leveraging cooperation across institutions
Retooling technical services staff to meet evolving needs
Collaborating with other departments within the library
Please join us and other Technical Services Managers in Academic
Libraries as we discuss these topics and approaches among small groups
in a round-table setting.
Please note: we are the former “Medium Heads” with a new name. We
welcome those who have an interest in technical services management in
all kinds of libraries.
