The Core Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITSIG) seeks
presenters for brief but lively discussions for its Core Virtual Interest
Group Week session, February 1-5, 2021. The CITSIG session will take place on
Thursday, February 4, 2021 at 3:00 pm EST/2:00 pm CST. Presenters will present
a quick introduction to a creative idea that they are interested in, and
attendees will then have a chance to engage in a lively, informal discussion
of the topic in Zoom breakout rooms.
We welcome a wide range of topics related to technical services, particularly
acquisitions, cataloging, metadata, classification, preservation, or systems
in academic, public, special, or school libraries.
If selected, presenters should plan to prepare:
• A short presentation (5-10 minutes) introducing a creative idea
related to technical services: why are you interested in this topic? Why might
other library staff be interested? What's the history behind the idea, or
where might it take us in the future?
• Three to six discussion prompts, which will be shared with breakout
groups to get some conversations started
Please submit your proposal to the Interest Group’s chair, Sarah Hovde
(sehovde1_at_gmail.com), and vice-chair, Susan Martin (Susan.Martin_at_mtsu.edu), by
Friday, December 18, 2020, and include the following:
• Short presentation summary (less than 200 words)
• Two to three sample discussion prompts
• Name, title, affiliation, and email address for presenter
Presenters will be notified of acceptance by January 8, 2021. The session will
take place on February 4th, 2021 at 3:00 pm EST/4:00 pm CST
Housed within the Core division of ALA, the Creative Ideas in Technical
Services Interest Group provides a forum for discussion of issues within the
field of technical services which are relevant to library staff at all levels,
particularly those issues relating to the evolution of technical services as
it affects and is affected by technology and greater interdependency among all
library departments.
