Announcing the Academic Library Association of Ohio, Technical Services 
Interest Group Spring Workshop 2005

Technical Services Librarianship:
Working Today—Preparing for Tomorrow

To be held from 9:00 - 3:30 at Kent State University, SLIS 317 on March 4, 2005

Program:
Keynote Speaker: Richard E. Rubin (Director of the School of Library and 
Information Science, SLIS Professor, Kent State University) will discuss 
the formal education, employment opportunities, professional 
development/ongoing training and recruitment of technical services 
librarians in a changing environment.

 From Theory to Practice: the Great Divide?
Tschera Harkness Connell (Associate Professor, Head, Access Support, and 
Accounting Department, Technical Services Division, Ohio State University 
Libraries) How we are informed in our decisions, how education provides a 
foundation (but not necessarily all the details) for practice, the five 
laws of Technical Services and holistic librarianship.

Creating a Culture for Technical Services
Elizabeth Brice (Head, Technical Services, Miami University Libraries) What 
kind of organizational culture best suits the demands Technical Services 
departments now face? How has it changed from 20 years ago? And is that 
change good or bad?

Collaborating to Provide Experienced-based Learning
Margaret Maurer (Assistant Professor & Cataloging Manager, Kent State 
University Libraries and Media Services) Collaborating to provide 
experienced-based learning for library school students while getting real 
work done. It is predicted that Technical Services units will face severe 
shortages of qualified candidates throughout the next decade. The Library’s 
Technical Services division sees this work as the specific contribution 
they can make to solutions for that troubling situation.

Digital Services Inside TS
John Millard (Digital Initiatives Librarian, Miami University Libraries) 
will discuss issues related to the development of a Digital Services Unit 
within a TS department.

Expanding the Tools
Ross Shanley-Roberts (Special Projects Cataloger, Miami University 
Libraries) will present methods for automating the cataloging of electronic 
documents with PHP and macros.

All About Metadata and Knowledge Organizations Systems
Marcia Lei Zeng (Professor, School of Library and Information Science Kent 
State University) will cover issues in moving from traditional cataloging 
to metadata and knowledge organization systems including metadata quality, 
transferable skills and career options/alternatives for TS librarians.
