The Technical Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group cordially
invites you to attend the following session during the 2010 ALA Annual
conference:
Transforming Technical Services During the Library Renaissance
Monday, June 28th, 1:30-3:30pm
Location: Washington Convention Center Room 152A (WCC-152A)
In her working paper, Time Horizon 2020: Library Renaissance, Susan
Gibbons’ describes “a period of unprecedented change for libraries” over
the next ten years. In particular, there is the expectation of a
renaissance in technical services and collection development work. Focus
will shift from the acquisition of content to its discovery. Technology
will continue to influence user expectations and provide platforms to
deliver content on demand, for both print and electronic resources. The
80/20 model will be supplanted by patron-driven acquisitions and
locally-cultivated content.
Our panelists will discuss changes that are manifesting in their
organizations and innovations in the provision of services. There will
also be discussion of the importance and difficulty of syncing user
needs and resources. In addition, the panel will share what they
envision their respective institutions may look like post-renaissance.
Please join us for a lively session. The panel includes:
* Teresa Negrucci, Collection Assessment and Management Librarian,
Colorado State University
* Holly Tomren, Head of Monograph, Electronic Resources, & Metadata
Cataloging, University of California, Irvine
* Sadie Williams, Director of Customer Support, Blackwell/YBP Library
Services
Also please also consider becoming the next co-chair of the TSWE
Interest Group.
