Technical Services Section

The purpose of the SCLA Technical Services Section is to provide a forum for discussion of issues related to collection development; the acquisition of library materials, including serials; preservation; automation and cataloging. It is dedicated to the coordinated development of library resources in South Carolina and to ready access to such resources. The Section is to promote communication, to encourage cooperation, and to provide programs for continuing professional growth for librarians in South Carolina in the areas of collection development and management, acquisitions, cataloging, serials, preservation, and automation. The Section members also seek to represent library technical services issues to other Sections within the Association, as well as to groups and persons outside the Association. To help meet these goals, concentrated effort is made to assure applicable programs for conferences and workshops.
