Who is Technical Services?
Ever wonder how all those items you check out are entered into the library system?
It all starts here.....
We are the department in the library that gets the materials ready for you to enjoy. It all starts with the delivery of items. Every item for every branch gets invoiced and checked in. After invoicing, the items are divided among us for cataloging. We enter what you see in the online catalog. After cataloging, the items are then covered and all stickers are added to help make it easier for you to find them in the library. After all processing is completed, the item is sent to the branch it belongs to where it will be available for you to check out and enjoy!
