[Ohiodig] Register now for NOTSL Spring Meeting, Friday, May 17th, 2024, at Cuyahoga Community College Corporate College East: Successful Recipes for Patron Access: Innovating TS Work to Better Serve Patrons

[Erin Valentine]

Posted on behalf of the Northern Ohio Technical Services Librarians Board;
please pardon any duplication.

Registration is now open for the Northern Ohio Technical Services
Librarians’ Spring 2024 meeting. Successful Recipes for Patron Access:
Innovating TS Work to Better Serve Patrons, will be held on Friday, May 17,
2024, 10:00 AM - 4:15 PM, at Cuyahoga Community College (aka Tri-C)
Corporate College Conference Center East, 4400 Richmond Rd, Warrensville
Heights, OH 44128. All are welcome; membership is conferred on all
attendees.

NOTSL is pleased to sponsor the following speakers and presentations:

Patrick Conners, Catalog Librarian at Akron Public Library, will
present “Generative
AI vs. the Catalog Librarian: Practical and Not-So Practical Uses of AI."
This presentation will explore how generative AI tools like Gemini and
ChatGPT can be used in daily tasks and how they might be included in your
workflow. We'll look at its use in metadata creation, help with translation
and transliteration, and how it can be used to clean-up and enhance vendor
records. This presentation aims to spark ideas of how freely available
generative AI technology can be beneficial to cataloging workflows.

Chloe Misorski, Cataloging Librarian at the Ingalls Library at the
Cleveland Museum of Art, will present “Labels in the Recipe Box:
Considerations for Physical and Digital Access.” The Ingalls Library at the
Cleveland Museum of Art has undergone a project to increase collection
diversity by acquiring photobooks by marginalized photographers. To support
access for different types of patrons, these materials require a
specialized workflow from acquisitions, to cataloging, to processing. Chloe
will describe additional metadata access points for these collections as
well as editing the display of metadata to users. She will also discuss how
these materials receive specialized processing because of their dual role
as library materials and art objects. These decisions support the
specialized access needs of museum professionals as well as the access
needs of the general public.

Sandy Jelar Elwell, Director of Collection and Technical Services and Libby
McCuan, Technical Services Librarian at Cleveland Public Library, will
present “Picture Book Categories: Adapting Technical Services Workflows for
Public Service Demands.” The decision to assign categories for picture
books and transition to shelving picture books in bins was introduced as
part of the Cleveland Public Library’s Facilities Master Plan (FMP). It was
first implemented in the ReImagined Branches that reopened in 2022 and then
at all locations starting in 2023. Sandy will discuss the details for the
behind-the-scenes implementation and how it was integrated into the
workflow. Libby will provide insight as a previous Children’s Librarian of
the impact of the categories in public services and as the current
Technical Services Librarian responsible for assigning the categories to
new picture books.

At the Business Meeting (open to all attendees!), officer election results
will be announced. The candidate statements will be distributed to
attendees one week prior to the meeting. The elections will occur
electronically on the morning of the meeting.

Registration fee, which includes continental breakfast and boxed lunch,
will be $60, or $30 for students and retirees. For all registrations,
please be aware Eventbrite charges a non-refundable processing fee that
will affect the total purchase price.
