Innovate and Integrate: Key Trends and Developments in Library Technical Services

Abstract

Traditionally, cataloguers played essential roles in libraries to ensure that materials were organised, accessible, and easily discoverable by users. While the core principles of cataloguing remain the same, many of these tasks have evolved with the introduction of new technologies and methodologies in the field. In this presentation, we will explore some of the most significant advancements in the ever-changing landscape of the modern 21st-century library, with a particular focus on how these influential trends shape the future of library technical services.
