Program Topic: Shifting Technical Services Priorities to Meet Evolving Needs of the
Institution
Sponsored by: Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries Interest Group
Time: Saturday, January 16, 2010, 8-10 a.m.,
Location: BCEC (Boston Convention and Exhibit Center), Room 159
Library technical services have been undergoing radical changes and are facing new
challenges due to shrinking budgets, reduced positions, new E-formats and technology.
Shifting priorities and seeking innovative approaches and workflows are critical in
meeting these challenges. The discussion will cover topics and ideas for solutions to some
of the challenges we face.
Table topics include:
Aligning technical services with library initiatives
Applying new technologies to improve workflows
Leveraging cooperation across institutions
Retooling technical services staff to meet evolving needs
Collaborating with other departments within the library
Please join us and other Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries as we discuss
these topics and approaches among small groups in a round-table setting.
Please note: we are the former “Medium Heads” with a new name. We welcome those who have
an interest in technical services management in all kinds of libraries.
