Massachusetts Library Association

Technical Services Section

We invite all technical services librarians and paralibrarians to join the Technical Services Section (TSS) of the Massachusetts Library Association (MLA).

Even if you’ve never served on a MLA committee or any professional committee, fear not. By checking off TSS on your MLA member application or renewal, you are a bona fide member and you need not be an officer to attend a meeting. There are no extra dues to be a TSS member.

We organize and sponsor 3-4 programs at the MLA annual conference, as well as occasional stand-alone workshops, on such topics as Successful Selling (how to make your book sale more profitable), Numerology (what does Technical Services cost your library), Connecting With Multilingual Communities (collection development for non-English speakers), etc.

Join us! Meet your colleagues! Enhance your skills and knowledge!

For more information please contact: TSS Chair, Alyssa Freden at alyssa.freden@gmail.com.
