Head of Technical Services Roundtable

A lively discusssion ensued between Technical Services librarians on a variety of topics at the roundtable. Some of the topics included the following. What to do with serials check in clerks that don't have as much to do now that we have electronic resources. What to do with bored library assistants. What should be our philosophy on hiring? How do we instill work ethics in our employees? A plug was put in for two workshops that we hope might get approved for a future meeting - How to manage different generations and personalities of people and what are technical service librarians going to be doing in the future.
