  36. ibeilin
    Ian Beilin@ibeilin
    A1: every day public services uses and works with/through what tech services has done - former is utterly dependent on the latter #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:09:29
  37. erinaleach
    Erin Leach@erinaleach
    As a cataloger, I want so badly to understand how users access information. What can I do to help make that process easier? #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:09:31
  38. violetbfox
    Violet Fox@violetbfox
    @erinaleach Yes. And every time I'm on reference it's eye-opening, esp. how systems (catalogs) can make or break user experience. #critlib

  39. MetadataCatalog
    MetadataCataloger@MetadataCatalog
    A1: My university is so small that we all have daily conversations and contact. #mashcat #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:09:34
  40. zinelib
    Jenna Freedman@zinelib
    A1 Our sitch is weird bc of affiliate status, systems shared w/ a R1. Leads to feelings of asking favors, not partnership. #mashcat #critlib

    Violet Fox@violetbfox
    A1. Well it's all connected, innit? Sometimes it doesn't feel that way, though. I cherish the small amount of reference work I do. #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:10:13
  44. bembrarian
    Greg Bem, MLIS@bembrarian
    @violetbfox Gotta get IT to come out of their cave once in a while, physical or digital cave that is. #critlib #mashcat

    (they prolly say same 'bout us) @bembrarian @violetbfox #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:11:36
  46. bembrarian
    Greg Bem, MLIS@bembrarian
    A1 In the case of my lib., use shared tools in the same community proximity, if on good terms. #critlib #mashcat  https://twitter.com/montserratlj/status/689630843137060864 …
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:10:33
  47. zinelib
    Jenna Freedman@zinelib
    A1 pt. 2, but I think the feeling of dependency/asking favors, rather than partnership happens everywhere & on both sides. #mashcat #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:10:37
  48. OpOnions
    Netanel Ganin@OpOnions
    A1 utterly intertwined-edly! w/o LIT, PS can't help patrons find books regardless of work done by TS #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:11:23
  49. EthanDF
    Ethan Fenichel@EthanDF
    A1 I'm curious how others handle this - in MPOW it's not great. #mashcat #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:11:53
  50. chiuchiutrain
    Anastasia@chiuchiutrain
    @zinelib Interesting situation. How does the shared system work, and what situations lead to those feelings? #mashcat #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:12:19
  51. OpOnions
    Netanel Ganin@OpOnions
    @OpOnions (you can phrase that putting anyone first/2nd/3rd) (and should be RESOURCES, not books) #critlib #mashcat

    Emily Drabinski@edrabinski
    Hi #critlib & #mashcat! The catalog is my favorite text to teach. Intermittent from my couch in Brooklyn.
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:12:29
  53. marccold
    MARCinaColdClimate@marccold
    A1. A lot depends on the size of the lib. Large libs- fiefdoms, small libs- neighbors, solo libns combine three in one. #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:12:37
  54. jkgadsby
    Joanna Gadsby@jkgadsby
    A1. Ideally, we all work toward the same end goal: most helpful for user. In MPOW, there is not enough comm to facilitate this. #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:13:17
  55. bembrarian
    Greg Bem, MLIS@bembrarian
    @OpOnions Librarians often doing technical services; TS often answering reference qs. Small libraries allow for crossover. #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:13:18
  56. chiuchiutrain
    Anastasia@chiuchiutrain
    @EthanDF How so? No interaction between tech svcs/IT/public svcs people, or not much interaction between departments? #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:13:51
  57. edrabinski
    Emily Drabinski@edrabinski
    Our tech services librarians teach & do reference, but I don't do tech services. #critlib

  60. erinaleach
    Erin Leach@erinaleach
    @violetbfox And yet if we (back-room folk) don't do front-line work, we don't know how much trouble we make for users. #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:14:19
  61. cheegunn
    cg@cheegunn
    Q1Would love examples of usercentric tech/service collabs between these actors if you have em. Trying to think of some too #critlib #mashcat

    A1 We share info at joint staff meetings and have quarterly "show-n-tells" #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:14:48
  65. EthanDF
    Ethan Fenichel@EthanDF
    @chiuchiutrain well, w/o too much dirty laundry - i'd say we're working to better align priorities to improve interaction #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:14:51
  66. marccold
    MARCinaColdClimate@marccold
    A1. More seriously, sometimes I think of the famous quote about UK & US- three library areas separated by a common goal. #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:15:12
  67. chiuchiutrain
    Anastasia@chiuchiutrain
    @edrabinski What a fun way to see it! Catalog as teaching opportunity. #mashcat #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:15:12
  68. violetbfox
    Violet Fox@violetbfox
    @EthanDF In my experience, the larger the institution the more adversarial the relationships, don't know if that's true of others. #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:15:16
  69. zinelib
    Jenna Freedman@zinelib
    And convos can be tricky because we all frame things different ways, have diff vocabs. #critlib #mashcat  https://twitter.com/jkgadsby/status/689631753342951424 …

    Kate Deibel@metageeky
    From a UX perspective, TS and PS folks are the frontlines of feedback on how the ILS I maintain is doing #critlib #mashcat

    That's how ours is. I'm a cataloger and I'll have my usual shift on the Research Desk tomorrow! #critlib #mashcat  https://twitter.com/bembrarian/status/689631759810465792 …

    In particular, my users are more than patrons but also the librarians who use the system to help patrons #critlib #mashcat

    Awesome discussions already popping up around Q1 of #critlib / #mashcat! Feel free to continue as we start Q2.

  77. Question 2: "How can we encourage better communication between all parties?"

    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:16:56
  79. edrabinski
    Emily Drabinski@edrabinski
    Wonder if it's partly that public services isn't seen as skilled work, where tech services is. #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:17:04
  80. OpOnions
    Netanel Ganin@OpOnions
    @cheegunn with many plaudits of course going to my wonderful systems folks for actually MAKING Y happen!! #CritLib #Mashcat

  81. ibeilin
    Ian Beilin@ibeilin
    @chiuchiutrain hmm need to think on that one; maybe collection dev but not so much reference or instruction #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:17:48
  82. OpOnions
    Netanel Ganin@OpOnions
    @metageeky interesting, you see the librarians themselves as your users -- that's a great point #CritLib #Mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:18:07
  83. edrabinski
    Emily Drabinski@edrabinski
    A2 I think we talk more when work more together. Shared projects. Union work. #critlib

  84. kcrowe
    ❄Kate Crowe❄@kcrowe
    Q1 In a midsize library it seems much easier to comm btwn depts due to size than at R1s. We talk at least weekly at MPOW. #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:18:29
  85. marccold
    MARCinaColdClimate@marccold
    @edrabinski Sometimes I wonder what part that plays- that TS libns often have PS responsibilities, but so rarely reverse. #critlib #mashcat
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:18:32
  86. chiuchiutrain
    Anastasia@chiuchiutrain
    @EthanDF Priority alignment seems like an important discussion for all interdep't discussions; hope that's going ok :) #mashcat #critlib

  87. EthanDF
    Ethan Fenichel@EthanDF
    @edrabinski funny that - that isn't how it is compensated. Although degrees in Ref often more required #mashcat #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:18:40
  88. montserratlj
    MontserratBiedermann@montserratlj
    A1 As a public services librarian, I like to "bug" tech servs folks - love learning how cataloging works from them. #critlib #mashcat

  89. MetadataCatalog
    MetadataCataloger@MetadataCatalog
    A2: I think the us vs. them mentality does a lot of damage to communication and collaboration. #critlib #mashcat

    Erin Leach@erinaleach
    @edrabinski I wonder what would happen if you tried to do TS work. #critlib

    Kate Deibel@metageeky
    @OpOnions At the very least, they are stakeholders as I described in my value sensitive design talk at the #mashcat workshop #critlib

    I actually like attending committee meetings for this reason: it exposes me to other parts of the library #critlib #mashcat

  96. edrabinski
    Emily Drabinski@edrabinski
    @EthanDF No? We all make the same where I work. Union rank pay scale. #critlib
    Wed, Jan 20 2016 02:20:14
  97. bembrarian
    Greg Bem, MLIS@bembrarian
    @violetbfox @EthanDF Agreed. Bureaucracy, politics, union-level issues with job descriptions grows with the institution. #critlib #mashcat
