Hi all -
Our meeting is fast approaching this coming Wednesday 3/9 at 12 noon Central! Registration is free and available
here.
We will have three breakout discussions on the topics below, after which the entire group will hear a brief report from each conversation.
Strategies for coordinating in-house training and professional development
This discussion invites perspectives on training and professional development for cataloging and metadata, systems migrations, and other technical services functions.
Centralization vs decentralization in technical services
This conversation will focus on the benefits and drawbacks of centralization vs. decentralization of technical services functions in institutions large and small.
Working with your institution's procurement or finance department
In this conversation, we'll talk about the relationship between acquisitions and our institutions' procurement or finance departments. Does this cause friction for your collecting? Do you bypass your institution's normal procurement processes? How have you advocated for the library's needs and found workflow solutions?
We hope to see you there!
