Volume 6 of the series Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library
is focused on academic library technical services operations, and
ways that they have been transformed and reimagined for working in
today's higher education environment. The literature on the place
and role of technical services, technical services librarians,
technical services staff, and technical services operations has
expanded and grown in the last few years as decreased budgets, a
focus on essential public services, and information discovery on
the Internet has driven the profession to re-examine the need or
importance of this back-end (or hidden) library department. Topics
discussed in this book include frameworks for the networked
environment, roles for metadata librarians in the areas of research
data and digital initiatives, the renewed focus on the discovery of
information and its place in academic libraries, the new "normal"
in academic library technical services operations, emerging roles
and opportunities for technical services managers, the re-training
and re-skilling of technical services staff, hidden collections and
needed or unexplored areas of expertise with technical services
librarians and staff, the faceted application of subject headings
(FAST) and obsolete or outdated subject terminology within Library
of Congress Subject Headings, and a conversation about downsizing
and moving forward within a law library technical services unit.
