Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries Interest Group’s Program:  “Technical Services in Evolution: Looking into the Future”

 

Date: Saturday, January 21, 2012 from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., Dallas Convention Center, Room D172

 

Please join us for lively table discussions on these topics of current interest:

 

RDA, RDA, RDA!

 

Acquisitions and Serials in Evolution  

 

Changes in Technical Services staffing, training, and prioritization of workloads as libraries turn their focus increasingly to electronic and digital resources

 

How do we as managers  develop the necessary mindset to lead change as libraries move in new directions? 

 

What are the new skills current technical services staff will need in the next few years and how can we provide training for them?  

 

DDA, social tagging, and other end-user driven trends affect our work. What are the implications for the future of tech services?

 

Thank you,
