Description: The webinar considers a provocative question: Is technical
services dead?

In the first part of the webinar, presenters discuss the recent past, the
present and the future of cataloging and technical services. They will
explore whether there is a future for “traditional” acquisitions and
cataloging and other technical services skills. Can we continue to divide
our attention between print materials and electronic, digital, and
streaming media when there are new resources and responsibilities competing
for our budgets and administrators’ attention?

In the second part of the webinar, they will explores metadata, MARC, and
more and will address the questions: does MARC matter with RDA? Will RDA
live up to its promise? Is schema agnostic preferable to using MARC, MODS,
or Dublin Core? Is BIBFRAME a viable alternative to MARC?

Learning outcomes: Participants will discover ways to examine the skills
and knowledge needed for contemporary technical services work and how these
skills relate to traditional technical services.

Who should attend? Professionals, paraprofessionals, and library science
students who work in or who would like to work in technical services.
