Many of us have been affected by budget cuts and other factors that have made technical service librarians have to do more with less. But what if your task list is miles long and growing longer every day? This e-forum will discuss tips, techniques, and tools of effective time and project management for technical services librarians.
Learning Outcomes
- Identify resources that can help librarians manage multiple tasks and projects at the same time.
- Discuss shortcuts or workflow changes that could streamline projects.
- Identify previous experiences from other librarians that could be easily implemented at the participant’s institution.
Who Should Attend
Any librarian who is interested in time and project management.
