Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians 2025 Conference<https://library.indianastate.edu/ovgtsl-2025>

Cornerstone of the User Experience
May 15-16, 2025 - ONLINE ONLY

Technical service departments are responsible for managing and organizing behind-the-scenes processes that ensure library collections are cataloged, classified, and accessible to users. Unlike other aspects of librarianship, technical service work is often invisible despite being paramount to the success of library users. At the OVGSTL 2025 Conference, we wish to shed light on unseen work and discuss the impact of technical services by examining best practices, resource management, emerging technology, and more.

Presented by Cunningham Memorial Library at Indiana State University.
