Tuesday, July 26, 2011 — 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m.
PCC-Room 203(A)
Librarians are often called upon to analyze, manage, and communicate about their budgets, despite perhaps having had no formal training in accounting or budgeting rules and procedures. In this program, three librarians will introduce examples of tools they've developed to analyze and present budget data to library or institutional managers. A discussion period will follow the presentations, during which attendees may discover helpful tips for both the new(er) and the more experienced librarian.

Cutting Beyond the Bone: Managing in an Age of Austerity (Program C-4)
Sunday, July 24, 2011 — 4:15-5:15 p.m.
PCC-Room 204(A)
Library budgets are stagnant or being reduced, and administrators are faced with making hard choices of "what" and/or "whom" to cut. In the current economic climate, libraries are often targeted for reductions because everything is perceived as being "online." An informative dialogue role-play will be presented by a director and a technical services head in a law library that suffered two recent 10 percent budget cuts, with another one in the offing. How do you deal with these budget reductions? Do you eliminate or decrease the quality of services, stop binding, buy fewer materials, or reduce staff? This program will offer a range of ideas to cope with stagnant or reduced budgets, when you already feel like you're "down to the bone."

Distinguished Lectureship Address: De arte et de jurisprudentia. Meditationes ad res
Monday, July 25, 2011 — 2:15-3:30 p.m.
PCC-Room 106(A)
Diagrams, symbols, and figurative elements have been applied throughout the centuries to illustrate the development of thought, or to explain complex concepts visually. In early legal manuscript and law books, visual presentations closely correlated to the written text, are often used to explain or teach the law pictorially. Used as memory aids or visual short cuts for verbal explanations, they fall in the rubric of the ars memorativa. This lecture, illustrated with important examples, will explore art and artists in the service of teaching and application of the law.
- Jolande Goldberg, Library of Congress

Electronic Resources Management (ERM) Systems Showcase (Program B-1)
Sunday, July 24, 2011 — 3:00-4:00 p.m.
PCC-Room 108(AB)
As libraries add more electronic resources to their collections, there will be a greater need to manage and maintain these resources effectively and efficiently. By viewing what ERM systems are available in the market place and identifying special features of each system, librarians responsible for electronic resources will be better equipped to select an ERM system that best fits their institution's needs. Librarians with limited resources will benefit from the demonstration of a locally developed, or an open source, ERM system. Insights into the pros and cons of using different ERM systems will also be shared.

Enhancing Library Services with Technical Services Skills: From the Backroom to the Front Lines (Program K-4)
Tuesday, July 26, 2011 — 3:15-4:15 p.m.
PCC-Room 204(A)
Shrinking library budgets often require reductions in materials and staffing, even as demands for library services continue to grow. Some libraries deal with this dilemma by bridging the previously well-defined distinctions between technical services and public services. Initiatives and projects on public services department "wish lists" can often be readily accomplished when goals are realigned to utilize the expertise and specialized skill sets of technical services staff. This program will explore techniques for building cooperative partnerships between the two departments. Managerial tips, best practices, ways of fostering innovation and creativity, and initiatives at various law libraries will be discussed.

Tuesday, July 26, 2011 — 9:00-10:30 a.m.
PCC-Room 111(B)
[Links to resources mentioned by speakers]
Regardless of how widely it is adopted, the newly-developed cataloging code, Resource Description and Access, will affect all of us in libraries profoundly – even if we're not responsible for cataloging materials. Please join us as we lead a discussion on the recent information from the three U.S. national libraries, the decisions libraries need to make about RDA, and the impact of the new code on our institutions – especially in the area of library technical services. Specific RDA questions that you would like have addressed during the program can be sent it to Jean Pajerek at jmp8 [at] cornell.edu or posted to the TS-SIS discussion list at ts-sis [at] aallnet.org.

Sunday, July 24, 2011 — 3:00-4:00 p.m.
PCC-Room 112(B)
While subject headings describe what an item is ABOUT, genre/form terms describe what an item IS. Genre/form terms in the OPAC help users target or limit their searches to specific types of materials like Law Reviews or Court Decisions and Opinions. The program will describe how the LC law genre/form terms were developed and how to implement and utilize these terms in your library.

Saturday, July 23, 2011 — 8:00 a.m-5:00 p.m.
PCC-Room 203(A)
Electronic resources present managers with distinct challenges, including personnel, workflow, licensing, and marketing issues. A central tool for handling these challenges is an effective management program that supports and maintains both expanding electronic collections and diminishing print collections. Does your library use a complex variety of staff roles and interactions to manage electronic resources? This workshop will explore best practices for managing electronic resources. Panelists will address administrative and technical issues including: selection, access, workflow analysis, licensing options, ERM vendors, training, marketing, and staffing. Attendees will participate in the review of ERM tasks and design job descriptions for ERM staff. Learn to manage electronic resources and not allow them to manage you! A pre-workshop list of selected readings will be available to attendees.

RDA for Everyone: Resource Description Access Explained to Non-Catalogers (Program D-1)
Monday, July 25, 2011 — 8:45-9:45 a.m.
PCC-Room 108(AB)
Resource Description and Access (RDA), the new cataloging code published in June 2010, is based on a recently formalized philosophy for providing access to materials. It is written with the international world of computers and online access strongly in mind along with the relationships of information elements. Librarians, other than catalogers, may not know much about this new code, nor may they know how these new standards for metadata creation will affect public services and technical services areas other than cataloging. Most may also not be aware of its possible applications outside of integrated library systems. "RDA for Everyone" will bring together a respected law cataloger/RDA tester, a well-known associate director/professor of legal research, and a reference and technology librarian (who is also the Chair of the Education Committee of the CS-SIS), to relate a brief history and description of RDA, explaining how it affects discovery and use of information, and how it has potential use outside the traditional library catalog.

PCC-Room 108(AB)
Law catalogers who participated in the RDA testing process during the fall of 2010 will describe their experiences. Topics will include: the testing process, overall impressions of RDA, and use of the online RDA Toolkit. The presenters will specifically compare using the online RDA Toolkit with using printed AACR2 guidelines for cataloging library materials. Participants will learn how RDA affected library workflow and productivity in the test libraries. (Please note that this program is NOT a training session on RDA itself.)

Tuesday, July 26, 2011 — 9:00-10:30 a.m.
PCC-Room 109(A)
The focus for the 2011 Roundtable program and discussion is "Tips on conducting technical services related research." In the current law library economic climate, research funding has become an emerging area of interest. This informal program will focus on how to get involved in researching technical services related topics. During the roundtable, presenters will outline steps for designing technical services research projects by sharing research concepts, funding sources, and showing example of successful projects. Program content will include tips on how to incorporate research into an everyday work schedule, how to identify appropriate research topics, and an overview of research grants available to technical services law librarians. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.
