Description: In this time of turmoil for libraries, some Technical Services librarians are building a foundation for the future. Some study past successes and failures to guide future decisions and actions. Others apply
current tools and concepts to reinvent existing services and to create innovative new services more relevant to today?s information environment. Finally, some are creating entirely new concepts and paradigms that will
help drive the future of libraries. The foundation we are building will support a rebirth of function, form and purpose ? a Technical Services Renaissance.

Keynote speakers: Karen Coyle, Librarian and Consultant, and Susan Gibbons, Vice Provost and the Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Dean of the River Campus Libraries, University of Rochester.
