The *Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group* is proud to
present the following discussion topics for our virtual session this summer
at ALA Annual! Come ready to think and talk about some creative ideas with
your colleagues on *Friday, June 25, 2021* at *12:00pm CT/* *1:00 pm ET*.

The link and information for this Zoom session is below; please note that
attendance is limited to 300 people.

*New Technical Services Pandemic Workflows: What Will Stay?*

Erica Barnett (Acquisitions Librarian, Hunter Library, Western Carolina
University)

Numerous discussions have taken place throughout the last year and a half
about how technical services has been impacted due to pandemic. There has
been a shift in the way materials have been acquired, received, processed,
and made available for patrons for users. As libraries begin to move into a
new normal, discussions about how technical services will move forward will
be beneficial. Attendees are invited to join a discussion about the changes
made to workflows among acquisitions and cataloging that will continue in a
post-pandemic world.

*Tasks, skills and competencies: identifying requirements and gaps for
planning cataloging training*

Marlee Givens (Georgia Institute of Technology) and Sofia Slutskaya (Emory
University)

Before planning any training, it is useful to assess the current state of
your staff's competencies and cataloging skills. Perhaps you have taken on
new staff from another department, or you are preparing to migrate your
cataloging software, or you are "looking forward" to an RDA update. Some of
your staff may require new skills, others may need to apply transferable
skills from another position, and seasoned staff may be building on
existing cataloging skills. How do you determine the training needs in your
cataloging department? We will discuss ways to determine competencies and
create checklists of cataloging tasks and skills that can be turned into
training and work documentation, used for job descriptions and
reclassification, or for hiring. Facilitators will share their own
experience with developing checklists and ask questions about modifying
ALA's Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata for all staff levels.

*Effective Job Ads and Description from the Standpoint of the Job Seeker*

Laura Sill (Director, Metadata Services and Interim Head, Electronic
Resources & Collection Metadata Management, Hesburgh Libraries, University
of Notre Dame)

Library Twitter over the years has included several threads that highlight
the frustrations that library job seekers face with posted position ads or
descriptions. Technical services remains a complex and evolving area of
librarianship and professional positions in this area can leave job seekers
hesitant to pursue opportunities. This discussion will brainstorm what
would make the ideal library technical service job ad or description from
the standpoint of job seekers. The guided discussion will also explore
issues of transparency of information, clarity of roles and
responsibilities, interview expectations and process, and best methods for
recruitment. Unique challenges or benefits of technical services positions
will also be explored. The goal of the discussion is to build understanding
between job seekers and creators, and to provide a place for job seekers to
advise on improving the development and hiring experiences for technical
services positions.

*E-Resources and the future of acquisitions*

Rob Tench (Acquisitions & Resource Fulfillment Librarian, Old Dominion
University Libraries)

Library acquisitions has undergone significant and dramatic change over the
last few years. The purchase of tangible assets such as print books, print
serials, DVDs, and CDs has transitioned to the acquisitions of eBooks,
online journals, streaming videos, and digital audio to meet increasing
demand of electronic resources by patrons and staff regardless of library
type. COVID accelerated this transformation even more dramatically and
emphatically. As a result, acquisitions staff members have been asked to
address, meet, and master a changing library environment, emerging
technologies, and ever evolving workflows. At the same time, dwindling
budgets, increasing workloads, smaller staffs, and more complexity brought
on by e-resources has significantly impacted the traditional world of
acquisitions. In short, acquisitions has been asked to do more with less
with no end in sight.
