<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Libraries are buying more ebooks and increasingly using DDA as a method of acquisition. However, studies indicate most library users prefer print and the data about ebook use is problematic and misleading. How can libraries approach
collection development and management responsively and responsibly? Using all the formats and methods of acquisition for collections at our disposal, libraries need to find a way to build collections that will be in the right format at the right time for the
right needs. What strategies for collecting and analyzing data will help us make the best decisions?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We're a long way from the brave new world of linked data, working in "the cloud", etc., but our users can't wait for that brave new world. If our ILS/OPAC doesn't suffice to market new materials, or LCSH when we have specialized materials
that have their own vocabularies [and LC's genre headings project doesn't include them], or if using ERM-type software like SFX is handled only by people in other departments, what CAN we do or change - even if it's a small thing - to go "outside the box"?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The introduction of institutional repositories (and other digital asset management systems) has made metadata creation a more complex task. Libraries take a variety of approaches to creating metadata for digital collections, sometimes
locating the work with a repository manager/staff, and sometimes involving catalogers and technical services staff. This roundtable will explore approaches to creating metadata for digital collections, at both small and large institutions, with a focus on
effective workflows and staffing models.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This roundtable will discuss how electronic resources, collection services, cataloging and interlibrary loan collaborate in designing a workflow to manage the changes in e-serials. Departments in technical services are used to close
collaboration in the print world. With the exponential growth in electronic resources and increasing use of discovery services, the workflow relies entirely on constant communication to ensure timely updates and seamless access in the catalog and discovery
services. Not only do departments in technical services become codependent with each other, but they are also pushed closer to the public services.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As library space in the main library is considered at a premium for "student-facing" activities, space for non-student facing activities such as technical services departments
are vulnerable to relocation to an off-site facility. How can technical services demonstrate value as a student-facing activity? How can technical services provide user-centric cataloging and access from an off-site location? How can technical services
prevent feeling detached from library users?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
