Re-envisioning “Technical Services” to Transform Libraries
Identifying Leadership and Talent Management Best Practices
Friday, January 8, 2016, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Event code ALC2
How can libraries enhance and reposition their “technical services"
operations to drive ongoing library transformation? Scholarly
communications, data curation, digital humanities, cooperative
preservation, library publishing, collaborative collection management:
all of these new functions require a talented staff with significant
technical services expertise, regardless of their titles and reporting
structure.
The symposium explores how libraries can recruit and cultivate staff
who can serve as both leaders and contributors and provide insight
into talent management, including identifying and nurturing leaders;
succession planning; promoting diversity; and connecting staff with
the best training options throughout their careers. Generously
sponsored by OCLC.
Hear from a number of outstanding speakers on these topics and more:
The Library of the Future: W(h)ither Technical Services?
Speaker: Keith Webster, Dean of Libraries and Director of Emerging
and Integrative Media, Carnegie Mellon University

Speaker: Meredith A. Taylor, Director of Administrative Operations,
