Strike Team Success: Continuing to Break Down Silos

Presented virtually at the 2022 Georgia Libraries Conference on October 18, 2022, from 3:30 pm to 4:15 pm.

Abstract

For this session, Rachel Evans and Szilvia Somodi co-present a Picha Kucha style synopsis of the recent strike team success at UGA Law Library. They invite attendees to visualize their library's catalog system as a cat tree! Over the course of a year they worked with their supervisors and a third librarian not from either of their departments to effectively pinpoint issues with their system related to fines, replacement bills and overdue notices. The team of "cats" worked together to find and test solutions. Their cat tree (aka ILS) is still a broken dangerous climbing zone, but specific problems have improved and communication between cats working in the library and library users have both gotten much better as a result.
