The document discusses strategies for reorganizing the Technical Services Department (TSD) at Western Michigan University Libraries. The goals are to streamline workflows, reduce backlogs, standardize procedures, and promote collaboration both within TSD and with other units. Key aspects of the reorganization include retraining staff, implementing PromptCat and FastCat to handle simple copy cataloging, focusing on backlogs and special collections, and forming best practices teams to standardize cataloging across units and contribute to global metadata efforts.
