Report of the ALCTS Role for the Professional Librarians in Technical Services Interest Group Meeting

摘要

The ALCTS Role for the Professional Librarians in Technical Services Interest Group held their biannual program at the American Library Association Midwinter meeting in Boston on Saturday January 9. The structure of the program consisted of two presentations followed by a guided discussion. Three questions were prepared in cooperation with the presenters and shared with the audience at the beginning of the program. Those questions were: (1) What one thing do you think you can do to help staff members accept change and collaboration?; (2) How have you encouraged colleagues to self-identify by skills and abilities rather than job title?; (3) What are the obstacles and opportunities in creating a learning environment focused on growth? The guided discussion also included the opportunity for the audience to ask direct questions to the presenters.
