In the changing modern-day library, the area of technical services
has undergone radical redesign and reorganization not just once,
but many times in the last thirty years. Shrinking budgets, new
electronic formats, the advent of the Internet, and technological
innovations have drastically changed the face of library technical
services departments and presented new challenges, such as finding
and hiring qualified catalogers; dealing with the exponentially
expanding range of print and electronic formats; reorganizing
workflows due to staff reductions; and trying to find answers for
organizing and describing information in its many manifestations.
The first part of this book explores the future of technical
services through surveys, research essays, and insightful opinion
pieces. The second part focuses on redesign and reorganization
efforts through a number of fascinating case studies. The majority
of these case studies come from academic library technical services
departments, highlighting efforts to meet and deal with challenges
through a myriad of options. For anyone involved in the day-to-day
supervision, management, and future of a library technical services
department, this book will provide food for thought, as well as
practical lessons.
