Berkeley Technical Services Discussion Group

Statement of purpose

The purpose of the Berkeley Technical Services Discussion Group (BTECH) is to bring together, on a monthly basis, Library staff members from all technical service units and subject specialty libraries:

  • to informally discuss any work-related issues of mutual interest, for the purpose of sharing information and possibly resolving any outstanding problems
  • to address any procedures that are ambiguous or hard to understand
  • to improve job skills through training workshops

The group also advises and makes recommendations to the Cataloging & Metadata Council, when appropriate or necessary, for further discussion and decision on formal issues of library technical service policy.

Convener

Jennifer Osgood, Technical Processing Lead, Arts & Humanities Division

Meeting schedule

First Wednesday of each month, 9-11 am
