ALCTS webinar: Mythbusting: Search For A Tech Services Generalist

Date: Wednesday, April 5, 2017

This webinar is 60 minutes in length and will begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

Session 5 of the five-session series Re-envisioning Technical Services:
Identifying Leadership and Talent Management Best Practices
<http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/reenvisioningtechservices>



Description:  The changing landscape of scholarly communication and digital
information services has dramatically changed the scope of library
technical services - but have our libraries changed our expectations of
technical services librarians? Rogers will explore her library's
experiences, and the experiences of other library directors searching for
the "modern" technical services librarian, and consider how libraries have
and have not responded to shifts in the changing landscape -- and what we
can do now to begin futureproofing ourselves.

Learning outcomes:

Attendees will:

* Understand the need to update our expectations of technical services
librarians

* Consider possible future actions in training, advertising for, and hiring
technical services librarians

* Reconsider their own assumptions about technical services librarians'
capabilities and roles

Who should attend? Library and technical services managers and others
interested in the future of technical services

Presenter:

Jenica P. Rogers is Director of Libraries and College Archives and Dorf
Endowed Director of Applied Learning at the State University of New York at
Potsdam. Previously, she held positions in cataloging, collection
development, and staff training. Jenica earned her MLIS from the University
of Wisconsin-Madison. Her current professional interests include looking at
how the information economy is breaking down and reforming following the
advent of the internet, and informing, mentoring, and supporting new
library professionals.
