In 2015-2016, the Association of Library Collections & Technical Services President’s Program Committee designed an online survey that was sent out to librarians and staff in technical services (including Libraries in ARL, Oberlin, and the University Libraries Group) that asked 28 questions regarding the major issues faced by technical services including:

What new skills are needed in technical services?

How are libraries developing staff skills? How are libraries handling training needs?

How are libraries addressing leadership (gaps and staff placed in new leadership roles)? How are libraries identifying emerging leaders?

How are libraries dealing with succession planning?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">
