Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group: Core IG Week 2022 program

  • 1.  Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group: Core IG Week 2022 program

    Posted Feb 10, 2022 02:17 PM

    Please join the Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group on Monday, March 7, 2022 from 10-11am Central time.  We will have two presentations followed by a Q&A. 

    Registration and the complete Core IG Week 2022 schedule is available here. 


    Presentation One 


    Days in the Life of an Intern: A Technical Services Department Experience


    Presented by:  


    Marina Morgan, Metadata Librarian, Florida Southern College

    Christopher Paintner, MLIS Candidate, San José State University

    During fall 2021, the Roux Library Technical Services department at Florida Southern College partnered with San José State University (SJSU) iSchool to provide a virtual Digital Scholarship internship to a student enrolled in the Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) graduate program. SJSU MLIS graduate students are strongly encouraged to complete an internship to gain valuable professional experience for course credit. The Technical Services department welcomed the opportunity to mentor a student who was interested to learn and grow as a library professional. Through the internship experience, the graduate intern developed a Digital Scholarship libguide and training materials, created workflows, and identified new tools applicable in Technical Services, such as data visualization tools, map and timeline tools, and publishing platforms. Our hope is that more institutions provide internship opportunities to graduate students who are exploring career options, want to gain valuable new skills, and are interested in expanding professional connections in Technical Services.  

    Presentation Two 


    Reading the Comments: Streamlining technical services workflows by leveraging Microsoft 365's modern commenting functionality

    Presented by 

    Christine F. Smith, Head, Acquisitions & Serials, Concordia University


    This presentation will provide a brief overview of the modern commenting functionality found within Microsoft 365 products and will highlight recommended first steps for using this tool for workflow management. The presentation will also offer a high-level look at this tool in action as it is used as a pivotal part of a current interdepartmental collaboration at Concordia University Library.


    Hope to see you all there!
