Georgia Library Association Technical Services Interest Group   The Georgia Library Association (GLA) Technical Services Interest Group (TSIG) provides an avenue for those in the technical services field to share the latest news, and discuss current issues and trends in acquisitions, cataloging, classification, electronic resources management, library systems, serials, and related disciplines.  In spring 2020, TSIG has been busy working on agenda items for the year. TSIG deactivated their Pinterest and Slideshare accounts, but fear not, Rachel Evans has been transferring all relevant presentations to GLA’s Slideshare page.   Linh Uong surveyed the membership to determine if there was enough interest in hosting technical services-related workshops. These would be virtual workshops held outside of the annual Georgia Libraries Conference and GLA Midwinter Planning Meeting. Out of 67 respondents, 91% said yes! There were numerous suggestions for topics and the top 10 included OCLC demos & refreshers, tools for data cleanup, Alma demos & refreshers, cataloging serials, special collections and non-book formats, metadata/linked data, cataloging fundamentals, “RDA for the rest of us,” and new trends in cataloging. With such a positive response, TSIG created a new Workshop Subcommittee to start the planning process. The members of the subcommittee consist of the TSIG officers, along with Kelly Ansley, LaGrange College, and Bernard Buleme, South Georgia Regional Library.   Keep an eye out for upcoming dates for the first Technical Services Workshop and other news posted by the TSIG secretary, Rebecca Hunnicutt, and visit TSIG at:   TSIG page: https://gla.georgialibraries.org/interest-groups/  Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/150109465199446/   Your TSIG Officers:  Linh Uong, Chair Rachel Evans, Vice Chair/Chair Elect Rebecca Hunnicutt, Secretary TSIG Workshop Subcommittee: Linh Uong, Rachel Evans, Rebecca Hunnicutt, Bernard Buleme, Kelly Ansley 1Uong et al.: GLA - Technical Services Interest GroupPublished by DigitalCommons@Kennesaw State University, 2020
