The ALCTS Technical Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group presents
the following Midwinter program:
Outsourcing Practices in Technical Services
Monday, January 10, 2011, 1:30pm – 3:30 pm
San Diego Convention Center –SDCC Room 30 A
While not a new trend, the outsourcing of technical services work is an
increasingly ubiquitous presence in library operations and the
management of resources. Many libraries are contracting out to vendors
or external organizations as a solution to budget limitations, shrinking
staff levels, and shifting priorities. Common areas of outsourcing
include cataloging, digitization, and selection. Today, we refer to
services like shelf-ready, patron-driven acquisitions, and the Google
Books project. Our panel will share aspects of their library’s
outsourcing profile, costs, benefits, comparative service quality, and
assessment tools.
Please join us for a lively session. Our panelists are:
Judy Garrison
Head of Electronic Acquisitions & Serials Control, University of Texas,
San Antonio
Ann Miller
Head, Metadata Services and Digital Projects, University of Oregon
Lynette Schurdevin
Library Administrator, Thomas Branigan Public Library (New Mexico)
For more information, please contact co-chairs Dracine Hodges
