Libraries are experiencing major changes concerning the role of
technical services. Technical services librarians also are being
challenged about their relevance and role, sometimes revealed by a
lack of understanding of the contribution technical services
librarians make to building and curating library and archival
collections. The threats are real: relocation from central
facilities, the dramatic shift to electronic resources, budgetary
constraints, and outsourced processing. As a result, technical
services departments are reinventing themselves to respond to these
and similar challenges while embracing innovative methods and
opportunities to advance librarianship in the twenty-first century.
Library Technical Services provides case studies that highlight
difficult realities, yet embrace exciting opportunities, such as
space reclamation, evolving vendor partnerships, metadata,
retraining and managing personnel, special collections, and
distance education. Written for catalog and metadata librarians and
managers of technical services units, this book will inspire and
provide practical advice and examples for solving issues many
libraries are facing today.
