| Summary |
Are you spending money wisely? If you're a technical services manager at an academic library, an administrator, or a dean, you're tasked with proving it. Incorporate assessment and analysis work into your library's existing workflow with the guidance of this new collection from the Association of Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS). Contributors from several academic libraries draw from real-world practices to suggest new approaches for acquisition and collections, cataloging and metadata, digital preservation, and e-resources and serials. |
|
Technical services in libraries are responsible for acquiring, cataloging, organizing, and preserving all of the materials in library collection. The essays in this book delve into strategies and policies that should be applicable in a department of any size. The sequence follows the tech services lifecycle (but not covering de-acquisition) before considering the future, the rise of digital scholarship and the needs of a data warehouse. -- adapted from preface and overview. |
