Description
Crystal Ellis, Assistant Director of Library Services and Head of User and Access Services, and Beth Morgan, Cataloging Librarian, will discuss the importance of cross-departmental collaboration and communication to the success and efficiency of their acquisitions, cataloging, and collections maintenance workflows. Crystal and Beth will share and explain workflows they have developed that streamline their from-ordered-to-shelf processes and keep all affiliated staff aware of issues or idiosyncrasies in the areas of ordering, cataloging, and weeding; provide an overview of the micro training they implemented to bring non-cataloging staff up to speed on understanding and interpreting bibliographic data as presented in the acquisitions module of the OCLC Worldshare Management Services ILS; and discuss the importance of ongoing communication between the two to ensure maximum accuracy of the ordering and cataloging of print materials in their collection. This session will be particularly useful to librarians at small colleges with small tech services and acquisitions departments, or anyone looking to bridge workflows across departments.
