Presented at ALAO, October 29, 2010. Program Description: Separated by principle or physically from the public side of the library can prove challenging for Technical Services departments in communication and interaction between the department and the rest of the library staff and patrons. How can Technical Services departments overcome these disconnects? This presentation will survey the different online efforts by several TS departments to facilitate communication with other library departments and beyond, including Miami University’s Technical Services LibGuides page.
