> Elevation Room, Crowne Plaza Denver City Center
>
> Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries Interest Group
> (formerly the Technical Services Administrators of Medium-Sized
> Research Libraries Interest Group, or the “Medium Heads”) will meet
> from 8:00-10:00 AM, Saturday, Jan. 24, 2009 in the Elevation Room of
> the Crowne Plaza Denver City Center. Our discussion topic is “Coping
> with Cuts: Handling Budget Reductions in Technical Services”. Groups
> will consider staffing issues, communication issues, workload issues,
> and how to deal with possible layoffs during economic hard times.
> Although uncomfortable topics, they are some which many of us have
> faced or will be facing.
>
> Please note: we have changed both our name and our meeting time. We
> welcome those who have an interest in technical services management in
> college and university libraries, with no rules about who is
> “medium-sized” or who is an “administrator”. We apologize right now
> for the 8 AM time, but we hope it will lessen our competition with
> some other great sessions that take place later on Sat.
>
> Also please note: the most capable Elizabeth Brice and Linda Lomker
> will team up as substitute chairs for this meeting, while I stay
> behind and “cope with cuts”. A big thank-you to both of them for their
> willingness to stand in for me.
>
> We (they) hope to see you there!
