The Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries Interest Group (TSMALIG) invites 2-3 presenters to participate in a virtual session during ALA's Interest Group Week. The session will be held on Thursday, March 6th, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (CST).
Each presenter will give a 15-minute presentation followed by a brief Q&A and discussion on the following topics:
- Is your role as a manager fulfilling?
- Do you have the autonomy you need to do your work effectively?
- How can you foster a culture of change in an environment resistant to it?
- Strategies for effective collaboration in technical services
- What challenges or issues is your library currently facing?
- As a middle manager, how do you maintain boundaries between your supervisor and your team?
Perspectives from all types of libraries are welcomed, and submissions that offer practical tips, strategies, and real-world examples are encouraged.
To apply, please submit a brief proposal (including your preferred topic) to Enerel Dambiinyam at Enerel.Dambiinyam@sdstate.edu by Friday, January 24, 2025. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thank you in advance,
Enerel
