Hello all,

 

Our library has recently combined its tech services department (composed of cataloging and acquisitions) with our library systems department (library-wide IT, digital collections, and a student multimedia center).  We’ve been asked to come up with 2-4 possible ways of organizing the combined department.  Does anyone have experience combining two such departments, or work in a library with this combination of departments?  For  background ,we are a private academic library supporting 9,193 FTE, undergraduate and graduate.

 

We'd appreciate an opportunity to hear about your experiences by email or phone. This is so institution-specific, it might be better to correspond off-list.

 

Thanks,

Sarah
