Abstract
After moving from library assistant into the position of Cataloging Librarian at a mid-size institution, this presenter also began supervising one full time employee and co-supervising another. This created an opportunity to reflect on the current workflows and protocols for Technical Services as well as decide on their leadership style. This includes bringing institutional knowledge into official protocols, working with others in Technical Services to align workflows, and cooperating with other supervisors when managing more than one employee. This was done while there were significant personnel changes at the library, including the Dean of Library Services. This on-going process created opportunities for personal reflection, a guideline of expectations for Technical Services, and how to best support direct reports.
