between technical services units and the rest of the Library. Issues
arising in the Technical Services Council may be decided within the
Council or taken to Roundtable, Cabinet or Administrative Group depending
on the nature of the issue and its impact on the Library.

standards, policies and procedures
- Respond to requests and problems identified by internal and external
customers of Technical Services, such as Library administration, patrons,
staff and the other councils
- Communicate with all staff about technical services issues
- Review the Technical Services Training Program and the Technical
Services Performance Standards
