Technical services departments are vital to developing, maintaining, and providing access to library collections but what exactly they do is often obscure to outsiders. Anne Morgan and Marlena Rose, two experienced technical services librarians, take you behind the scenes to provide you with straightforward knowledge that will enable you to work effectively with technical services colleagues and better serve your patrons.
Through software demos, case studies, in-session tasks, discussion, and a presentation, you’ll learn:
How electronic resource management systems make resources discoverable
How resources are organized and managed for access and discovery
How MARC (MAchine Readable Cataloging) records and other metadata standards and applications are used to make resources discoverable
Technical services librarian search strategies
The latest on emerging areas and trends in resource descriptions, such as DEI metadata initiatives
You’ll leave the webinar able to use this knowledge to communicate effectively with technical services staff, search more effectively, and better serve your patrons.
