CORE's Technical Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group (TSWEIG) invites speakers to present as part of the 2026 Core Virtual Interest Group Week. This session will take place March 2nd at 2 pm Central Standard Time.
TSWEIG provides a forum to discuss and analyze techniques, new developments, problems and technological advances in the workflows associated with the evaluation, selection, acquisition, and discovery of library materials and resources.

* Deselection (weeding) processes
* Link checking workflows
* Workflows for updating catalog language
* Any other technical services workflow topic that may be of interest
We aim to provide two to three short presentations (approximately 10-15 minutes each) with Q & A at the end. Please submit your proposals prior to January 30, 2026. Please include your name(s) of presenters, affiliation(s), email(s), title of the presentation, and a short summary (max 250 words) of the presentation.
