Dear Colleagues,

We need you to help us “Play the Feud!”  We have prepared a very
brief, voluntary, anonymous survey that explores communication
challenges between Public Services and Technical Services.  The
responses will be used in an ALA Annual 2016 conference program,
"Let’s Play Family Feud: A Public Services/Technical Services
Dialogue."  Join us for the program (details below) to find out the
most popular responses!

Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/76RZLYN

The survey will be open through 5/27/16.

Best wishes,

Rebecca Kemp Goldfinger, on behalf of the Planning Group

Title: “Let’s Play Family Feud: A Public Services/Technical Services Dialogue”

When: Sunday, 6/26/16, 1:00-2:30PM

Where: Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL, Room W304 G-H

Description:

Sometimes communicating at work can be challenging, especially between
the two “families” of Technical Services and Public Services. This
program will examine those challenges, "Family Feud" style. Technical
Services and Public Services panelists will reveal the most popular
responses to continuing resources-related “Family Feud” questions.
Following the game, each panelist will discuss in greater detail the
topic of each round, and we’ll end with discussion about communication
and continuing resources best practices. Sponsored by ALCTS Continuing
Resources Section (CRS) and RUSA Reference Services Section (RSS).
