Reorganizing a technical services division using collaborative evidence based information practice at Auraria Library

The article focuses on the evidence-based information practice (EBIP) applied at the Auraria Library in Denver, Colorado during the reorganization of its technical services division. Collaboration processes were established for the technical services division through the reorganization and redefinition of workflows. There are several factors that form part of the redefinition of roles including personal interests, department needs, and library needs. A collaborative EBIP environment was created in the division by addressing issues of workplace hierarchies, by the distribution of problem solving, and by the encouragement of reflective dialogue.

Technical Services vs. Public Service

Regarding this issue, it seems appropriate to quote Gorman who says: And it came to pass that when Kutta, assistant God made the first library, she noted that it was good. So he called together all librarians and divided as a shepherd divides the sheep and goats. The first group spoke to him saying: you will dwell in the clarity and serve the readers and their glory will be great. Then he turned to the second group and spoke to him saying: you will dwell in the darkness. Secret must be hidden effort and work. You do not know the reader nor shall you know them. Go away and sort ... and has been up to these days (1979, p. 435).
