Technical services staff in Ohio's public
libraries find themselves on a continual journey through an
evolving landscape of changing formats, standards, services, and
administrative demands. Limited resources, increased competition,
and shifting standards and priorities may sometimes make us feel
like we've reached the end of the trail. But through the tangles
and around every bend lies a fresh perspective. With the right
skill sets and a grasp of managed risk for guidance, technical
services will forge ahead to new vistas.
Join your colleagues from Ohio and beyond at
Mohican 2012, the Ohio Library Council’s recurring two-day retreat
for library technical services specialists, to discuss issues
ranging from cataloging to preservation, automation to authority
control, and collection management to marketing and advocacy. The
transitional realities and necessities of today's library world
call for hard choices in technical services as elsewhere.
Discover the radical opportunities presented by the latest trends
in economics, demographics, and technology: what's impacting us
now, what the future could look like, and the real-world paths we
can take to get there.
