Program Topic: Moving into the Future: Library Technical Services in
Transformation
Sponsored by: Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries Interest
Group
Time: Saturday, June 26, 2010, 8-10 a.m.,
Location: MAD-Dolly Madison, BR-lower
Library technical services are undergoing significant changes as
tremendous cultural and technological transformations impact libraries
and library work. We are moving right into the future as we apply
initiatives such as user-initiated services and acquisitions, network
level data management, globalization of resource access, elimination of
localization, social networked internal communications, organizational
change and so on. Technical service staff will need an expanded set of
competencies and skills to respond to the swift changes today and
tomorrow. Our discussion will cover issues, challenges and solutions in
application of some of the initiatives.
Table topics include :
The “Organizational Chart” and Location of Technical Services
Collaboration of Technical Services with IT Services
Better Management of Technical Services Internal Communication
Bibliographic Data Creation and Management at Network Level
Evaluation of Technical Services Performance
Technical Services Staff for the Future
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.
