1. With the start of the New Year, the second phase of TSI planning has now begun. The aim of TSI Phase 2 is to begin the incremental integration of technical services workflows, practices, policies, and projects in ways that are mutually beneficial to both institutions. This "soft" integration is scheduled to take place over an 18-month period, during which the functional working groups established in 2013 will leverage their new knowledge and understanding of each other's operations to: (a) evaluate and test options for streamlining or improving workflows, individually or jointly, to maximize effectiveness and improve service to users, (b) investigate ways to expand the collective scope of 2CUL technical services in cost-effective ways, and (c) work with TSI Steering, JSMIN, and other stakeholders to extend TSI models, innovations, insights, and cultural synergy to other library operations and divisions. Revised charges and further information on the work of the TSI functional working groups (and other TSI teams) are available under "TSI Planning Teams" on the Project Reports page.
