The TSI Administrative Team met with its Human Resources and Assessment liaisons earlier this month to begin broader, more formal planning for "building a 2CUL culture" in the integrated technical services operation – and beyond. Notes from that meeting are available from the Administration page on the TSI wiki (scroll down to "Meeting Notes"). We've begun to describe our approach to TSI as "middle-out." As opposed to "top-down" (in which library administrators play the lead role in planning the integration) or "bottom-up" (in which planning begins with very broad, comprehensive input from library staff), we are relying heavily on staff at the supervisor and coordinator levels to help craft the integration, based on their expert knowledge of processes and on input from key individuals in their respective units.
That's all for this time. As always, please feel free to direct questions to your supervisors or to any member of the TSI Steering Committee: Kate Harcourt, Adam Chandler, Colleen Major, Boaz Nadav-Manes, Robert Rendall, or me.
