As a con­tin­u­a­tion of our series on our 2011 Annual Report, please see a descrip­tion of major activ­i­ties in tech­ni­cal services:

• Fis­cal Year 2010 was a tran­si­tional year in Mudd Library Tech­ni­cal Ser­vices, with Christie Peter­son and Mau­reen Calla­han hired in Sep­tem­ber and Feb­ru­ary respec­tively to fill open posi­tions and with Lynn Dur­gin tak­ing and return­ing from fam­ily leave.
• April marked the first time that all Mudd Library Tech­ni­cal Ser­vices posi­tions were filled with full-time staff mem­bers since 2008. A search for an SCAII to assist with the ACLU pro­cess­ing project also began in late spring 2011.
• Despite staffing issues, well over 1,000 lin­ear feet was processed and described with online records and find­ing aids in FY2011, with another 1,123 lin­ear feet addressed by the ACLU pro­cess­ing project that will be avail­able by the end of FY2012.

Stay tuned for fur­ther dis­cus­sion of our 2011 work involv­ing pro­cess­ing, acces­sion­ing, dig­i­tal projects, records man­age­ment, col­lec­tion devel­op­ment, exhi­bi­tions, and more.
