1. Introduce yourself (name & position).
Greetings fellow TS-SIS members.
I am Carol Morgan Collins, Head of Technical Services, Joel A. Katz Law
Library, University of Tennessee, College of Law. I began work here as Catalog Librarian in
2001 and was promoted to Head of Technical Services in 2012.
2. Does your job title
actually describe what you do? Why/why not?
Yes, but Technical Services work seems to vary among libraries.
The functions at Katz include cataloging, serials management and claiming,
processing physical items, loading catalog records to provide access to
electronic resources, exporting records to the discovery layer, and
coordinating campus-wide access with the main library.
I am reading Nonviolent
Communication a Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg.
4. You suddenly have a free
day at work, what project would you work on?
If I have a free day at work, I would dig deeper into the history
of the University Of Tennessee College Of Law.
Earlier histories are available, but I have uncovered information from digitized
collections not incorporated into those versions. I find the biographical facts
of early faculty members fascinating.
