The Backroom Powerhouse: Leading Technical Services in
Turbulent Times
Date: Saturday, June 26
Time: 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Location: Hilton Washington (1919 Connecticut Avenue),
Lincoln Room
How do technical services managers and administrators manage
up, out, and across in challenging financial and political times? Given
the complexity of the resources and systems we manage, how do we ensure we are
communicating effectively with our colleagues in other parts of the
library? What is reasonable for being asked to do more with less?
With fewer and fewer staff, how do we ensure staff keep their skills flexible
for the future? How do we ensure that libraries have a seat at the
decision making table with respect to how we do business, whether that be issues
regarding our funding, compliance with municipal or state regulations, or
negotiating large business contracts?
Particularly relevant to librarians new to the field, this
session will address some of the creative ways that leaders of varying levels
of authority within Technical Services navigate political and economic
challenges to successfully acquire or develop the material and human resources
needed to succeed.
