Technical Services
The most visible effort expended by the Technical Services Department is the physical preparation of resources added to the collections of the Whittemore Library: the Main Collection, The Children's and Curriculum Library, Archives, and the Reference Collection. These preparations includes applying ownership stamps, spine labels, and anti-theft sensors, all of which are essential aspects of the Library's responsibility to ensure that materials are properly shelved within the building, and checked out and checked back in following their use. The Department also repairs damaged volumes, or seeks to have them replaced by the Acquisitions Department.
