<p> Challenges often confront technical services library staff from a variety of angles, whether from within our departments, library organization, community, or other outside influences. At the OVGTSL 2023 Conference, we wish to highlight creative approaches
to meeting new and ongoing challenges in technical services, including electronic resources, acquisitions, cataloging and metadata, open access initiatives, serials, and more. Our goal is to inspire our creative problem-solving abilities so we can continue
moving forward, equipped and ready to advance our important work. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> How have you responded to ongoing or new challenges that have affected workflows, budgeting and licensing considerations, patron access to materials, staffing, and more? Do you have a unique experience or resolution to a challenge to share? Observations
that can benefit our technical services community or other connected library groups? OVGTSL conference presentations are valuable sources for practical, highly useful information. You can add your expertise to help and inspire our colleagues!<o:p></o:p></p>
