> Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries Interest Group
> (formerly the Technical Services Administrators of Medium-Sized Research
> Libraries Interest Group, or the "Medium Heads") will meet from
> 8:00-10:00 AM, Saturday, Jan. 24, 2009 in the Elevation Room of the
> Crowne Plaza Denver City Center. Our discussion topic is "Coping with
> Cuts: Handling Budget Reductions in Technical Services". Groups will
> consider staffing issues, communication issues, workload issues, and how
> to deal with possible layoffs during economic hard times. Although
> uncomfortable topics, they are some which many of us have faced or will
> be facing.
>
> Please note: we have changed both our name and our meeting time. We
> welcome those who have an interest in technical services management in
> college and university libraries, with no rules about who is
> "medium-sized" or who is an "administrator". We apologize right now for
> the 8 AM time, but we hope it will lessen our competition with some
> other great sessions that take place later on Sat.
>
> Also please note: the most capable Elizabeth Brice and Linda Lomker will
> team up as substitute chairs for this meeting, while I stay behind and
> "cope with cuts". A big thank-you to both of them for their willingness
> to stand in for me.
>
> We (they) hope to see you there!
