As remote work has become routine, cloud-based technology tools
have become increasingly necessary to communicate with other
library staff and with faculty and staff to continue providing
seamless and uninterrupted access to library resources and
collections for our campus community. Cloud-based technology tools
such as Google Forms and Google Sheets are used to gather faculty
requests for collection development, tools such as Tableau are used
to illustrate material budget balances, and platforms such as
Trello have been adopted to track subscription renewal cycles and
manage other projects. This guide discusses the benefits of using
these powerful cloud-based and little to no additional cost
technology tools through the lens of a particular area in
librarianship such as documentation, data and project management,
communication, data storage, and data visualization. While the
real-world examples provided throughout focus on technical services
staff operations, specifically acquisitions and electronic
collection management, each tool's features and use cases are
transferable among all areas of librarianship. This guide provides
insights into how collaborative, dynamic, and accessible these
cloud-based solutions are for a technologically shifting workplace
as well as considers the challenges to adopting cloud-based
solutions such as administrative buy-in, aversion to change, and
steeper learning curves as well. Readers will gain practical
experiential examples that have been instrumental in creating
efficiencies in collection management workflows for technical
services staff. The use cases illustrated exemplify enhancements
that librarians can incorporate into their own collection
management practices to further engage with their colleagues, their
patrons, and their larger communities more effectively and
efficiently.
