The Georgia Southern University Libraries Technologies and Systems Department provides core infrastructure underlying a large academic library with 64 employees, not counting student workers, spread across two cities. Most departments work within a single area of librarianship. Meanwhile the Libraries Technologies and Systems department supports many projects which impact multiple departments, including online services like the ILS configuration, interlibrary loan service, and the website. This presentation will describe use of project plans to coordinate communication about projects between people working in different departments, units, and roles and to keep things easy to follow for management. This will be presented in the context of some recent projects as examples, a server upgrade for the ILLiad interlibrary loan services, and a project to set up permissions in the ILS for emeritus faculty.
