The ALA Core Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITSIG)
is pleased to announce a wonderful suite of presentations taking place on
Friday, March 10, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time as part of the ALA Core Interest Group Week.
Registration is free and open to anyone!
The CITSIG presentations share practical issues and experiences from different vantage points within technical services. Presentations will focus on
- stakeholder identification and communication related to the management of an electronic resources A-to-Z Database List,
- the use of Python scripts, OpenRefine and OCLC's Record manager to facilitate cataloging backlog management, and
- a project-based experience to analyze workflow within technical services that influenced workload leveling and understanding of work across technical services.
Our session will include three presentations in succession as follows:
- A-Z Database List Management: Getting started with a policy and workflow – Sonali Sugrim, Electronic Resources Librarian, Queens College Library
- Tools to Tackle Backlogs – Kim Carter (Copy Cataloging Assistant), Taylor Parks (Cataloging Librarian), Peter Rolla (Head of Cataloging & Systems), Loyola Marymount University
- Organizing a Successful Workload Analysis Project – Catherine Sassen (Principal Catalog Librarian), Kevin Yanowski (Department Head, Cataloging & Metadata Services), Sian Brannon (Associate Dean for Collection Management), University of North Texas Libraries
We look forward to seeing you on March 10th!
