At the OVGTSL 2023 Conference, we wish to highlight creative approaches to meeting new and ongoing challenges in technical services, including electronic resources, acquisitions, cataloging and metadata, open access initiatives, serials, and more. Our goal
is to inspire our creative problem-solving abilities so we can continue moving forward, equipped and ready to advance our important work.
