How does a major construction project affect the tasks and mindset of library staff members? What aspects of one school’s experience resonate with the circumstances of other schools? This session has three parts. First, presenters will provide an overview of the journey of the library staff of Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary as they helped design a major renovation, vacated a building, stored 90,000 books, moved into temporary quarters, and continued library services — in addition to helping the Seminary make a sharp pivot from face-to-face teaching to distance education. Second, staff will reflect on lessons learned for their specific areas of work. Third, attendees will ask questions and discuss the intricacies of continuing to serve library users during the disruptions caused by construction.

I hang out in the back of the library (when we have one) and do various technical service things like cataloging, library systems, digital collections, and drinking copious quantities of coffee.

Proud grandparent. Always happy to talk about: evaluating library services, what the Atla Board does and does not do, and how much I love my library staff.
