Tech Services Working Group Updates

Tina Kussey (chair), Sandy Aldrich, Larry Dubois, Toni Fortini, Albert Joy, and Jeanene Light.

The TSWG has been meeting weekly since September. At this stage, the group is primarily gathering data about technical services departments, including statistical data points and notes on workflows. The members first worked with bindery and end processing staff to gather data about their departments, and are now focusing on Bailey/Howe and Dana acquisitions functions.

The TSWG will develop scenarios that more efficiently and effectively serve patrons (and possibly increase staff/faculty capacity), and identify one as their recommendation to the Dean. All scenarios and recommendations will be presented to the Dean in December.
