[ALCTS-CE Announce]

*Please excuse duplication*

*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?  -  Keith
Webster,  Dean
of Libraries and Director of Emerging and Integrative Media, Carnegie
Mellon University
Talent Management: Align Staff to Strategy   -  *Meredith A. Taylor*,
Director of Administrative Operations, Enrollment and Curriculum
Management, Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, University

Transforming the TechServices Librarian  -  *Jenica Rogers,* Director of

Takeaways

   - A broad, porous and dynamic view of technical services and its
   centrality to the success and evolution of libraries;
   - An understanding of the components of talent management and
   exploration of leadership development, succession planning, and continuing
   education and training for all levels of staff;
   - Exploration of practical and blue-sky methods to implement or enhance
   these aspects of talent management in any type or size library;
   - Networking opportunities to identity colleagues for ongoing support in
   implementing or enhancing programs.
