Subject: Call for Volunteers-- ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical
         Services

This message is being posted to AUTOCAT and SERIALST.  Apologies for the
duplication.

The ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Discussion Group will
meet at ALA Midwinter Sunday, January 20, 4:30-5:30 p.m.

This discussion group consists of round table discussions on various
topics with 8-10 people participating at each table.  We seek volunteers
to serve as facilitators or recorders at each table.

FACILITATORS introduce the topic, ask persons to introduce themselves,
keep track of the meeting time, and, most importantly, keep the
discussion moving and ensure that all are able to participate.   The
co-chairs will supply a list of questions for each topic that
facilitators can use to keep the discussion focused and moving.
Facilitators may also incorporate their own questions as well.
Experience has shown that very few tables make it through all the
questions in the time provided!

RECORDERS participate in the discussion and take notes of the discussion
which will be forwarded to the co-chairs. The co-chairs will use the
notes to write a report which will be posted/published on the ALCTS Web
site.

Facilitators and recorders will receive acknowledgement in the report.

Please contact Tina Shrader (tina.shrader@asu.edu) by December 28 to
volunteer.  If you have a preference as to topic or role (facilitator or
recorder), please include that preference in your email.

TOPICS:

1) E-journal management vendors (like SerialSolutions, TDNet, etc.).
How people are using them and what kinds of issues they raise for
Technical Services departments.

2) AACR2R revisions:  Ideas for implementation and training.

3) Communication between Tech Services and other departments

4) Organization of Staff resposibilities

5) Access verse Ownership Issues for Acquisitions

6) Authority Control in non-MARC environments

Thank you in advance from the co-chairs,
