Impact of Central Selection on Technical Services Workflow

Impact of Central Selection on Technical Services Workflow

Salt Lake County Library Services Collection Management is in the process of moving to central selection. This has been much debated amongst the staff and administration at SLCLS. At one time, Salt Lake County had over 1200 budget codes and 106 selectors; Central Selection has reduced those numbers. Learn how this has impacted Technical Services workflow. During this time frame SLCLS migrated from Horizon to Polaris. This has affected acquisitions, cataloging, serials, and statistical reporting. While the program is not Polaris specific, some of the decisions made are determined by the ILS in use.
