Subject: ALCTS Tech Serv Mgr in Acad Lib IG--Midwinter Meeting

Program Topic:  Shifting Technical Services Priorities to Meet Evolving
Needs of the Institution Sponsored by:  Technical Services Managers in
Academic Libraries Interest Group Time:  Saturday, January 16, 2010, 8-10
a.m. Location:  BCEC (Boston Convention and Exhibit Center), Room 159

Library technical services have been undergoing radical changes and are
facing new challenges due to shrinking budgets, reduced positions, new
E-formats and technology. Shifting priorities and seeking innovative
approaches and workflows are critical in meeting these challenges. The
discussion will cover topics and ideas for solutions to some of the
challenges we face.

Table topics include:

*Aligning technical services with library initiatives *Applying new
technologies to improve workflows *Leveraging cooperation across
institutions

*Retooling technical services staff to meet evolving needs *Collaborating
with other departments within the library

Please join us and other Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries
as we discuss these topics and approaches among small groups in a
round-table setting.

Please note: we are the former "Medium Heads" with a new name. We welcome
those who have an interest in technical services management in all kinds
of libraries.
