Learn, share, and network with other technical services specialists in a relaxed campus environment at the Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center in Lewis Center, Ohio (North Columbus). The 2018 Technical Services Retreat will be held March 28-29. Follow the conversation now on Twitter using #OLCTS.
Technical Services is not a singular job. There are many different roles and tasks to perform including issues surrounding intellectual freedom, diversity, adaptability and resourcefulness. Join your colleagues for the biennial 2018 Technical Services Retreat, an educational event that strikes the perfect balance between the big picture and focused, practical topics. The Retreat’s theme this year is “Wearing Many Hats,” and we are excited to take a closer look at the many roles technical services staff perform behind-the-scenes. This two-day event draws technical services specialists from libraries and related organizations to learn, share, and network in a relaxed and productive campus environment.
