ALCTS e-Forum: Navigating the Impact of COVID-19 on Library Technical
Services

April 21-22, 2020

Moderated by Jeremy Myntti, Julene Jones, Nicole Lewis, and Rebecca Uhl

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The COVID-19 virus is having a significant impact on library technical
services units and departments. This has included figuring out how to work
remotely while many libraries around the country are closed or semi-closed.
Come and discuss with your colleagues your ideas and plans for working,
managing, and collaborating during this time.


Moderators

Jeremy Myntti is Head of Digital Library Services at the University of
Utah’s J. Willard Marriott Library. He oversees a department with twenty
librarians, full-time staff, and part-time student employees, who are all
now required to telecommute full-time.

Julene Jones is the interim assessment librarian at the University of
Kentucky. Prior to this she was the Head of Database Integrity at the
University of Kentucky where she was responsible for many things, but
primarily for running reports, maintaining the consistency of the database,
and authority control.

Nicole Lewis is Lead Cataloger at the University of Utah’s J. Willard
Marriott Library. She is responsible for coordinating cataloging workflows
and is one of the library’s ILS system administrators. She currently
prepares database cleanup projects, including supplemental training, for
several cataloging and acquisition staff to work on during the library
closure.

Rebecca Uhl is Principal Cataloger at Arizona State University. She is
coordinating remote work for 13 catalogers in three different units within
technical services, including providing training and coaching catalogers in
new and different tasks.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
