The Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITSIG) will host
three presentations on Friday, March 8 @ 10 am Central / 11 am Eastern for
Core IG Week. CITSIG presentations share practical issues and experiences
from different vantage points within technical services.

Presentations will focus on:

   - using the open-source MARC metadata quality assurance tool “QA
   Catalogue for Analysing Library Data” to assess ebook metadata quality.
   - creative ways to improve working conditions for technical services
   operations and practicing self-care.
   - investigating the use of Homosaurus vocabulary in bibliographic
   records and analyzing the usage of terms.

Our session will include three presentations in succession as follows:

*Applications of the QA Catalogue for Analysing Library Data* –David Floyd
(Chief Cataloging Librarian, Subject Librarian for Judaic Studies), Sasha
Frizzell (Catalog/Metadata Management Librarian), Binghamton University

*Practicing Self-care on the Job in Technical Services* – Janetta
Waterhouse (Associate Dean for Collections, Discovery, and Information
Technology Services), Kansas State University
