Services Departments

Abstract: Drastic staff reductions and the continuous print to digital
shift require a transformation of Technical Services (TS) to remain
relevant. One effective approach is through growing IT skill sets within
TS departments. Several libraries will describe what IT skill sets they
have found useful, how to grow them in house and what strategies have
been used to overcome potential barriers. TS staff who have mastered IT
skill sets will also describe how they are overcoming the "lost in
translation" and related issues to support others moving in similar
directions.
