Vision
Library Technical Services (LTS) is a team of experts central to the Library's mission and its digital future. We champion innovation, teamwork, productivity, staff development, and problem-solving skills, and we work in an environment of respect, support, and continual learning. Our divisional priorities promote industry best practices, reflect the Library's strategic plan, and will evolve as the role of the Library evolves, with particular focus on cross-institutional collaborations such as expansion of Borrow Direct services, the 2CUL partnership with Columbia University Library, and the corresponding implementation of a shared integrated library management system. Each LTS priority will be affected by this new integrated model, enabling us to better respond to the evolving needs of a 21st century research library.
Our Mission:
Library Technical Services (LTS) staff at the Cornell University Library keep the collections vital and up to date by procuring new library materials and organizing them for easy and convenient use. We maintain the Library's online catalog, e-resource discovery systems, and numerous finding tools for special and digital collections.
