ALCTS e-Forum: Time and Project Management in Technical Services

August 16-17, 2016

Moderated by Heather Fisher and Beth Johns

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Many of us have been affected by budget cuts and other factors that have made technical service librarians have to do more with less. But what if your task list is miles long and growing longer every day? This e-forum will discuss tips, techniques, and tools of effective time and project management for technical services librarians.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
