Joyce Tenney |
|
| Joyce Tenney is an Associate Director at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). She has been at UMBC since 1975 in varying capacities. Currently, she is responsible for Serials, Access Services and various e-resource functions including pricing negotiations and licensing. She attended UMBC for her undergraduate degree in Ancient Studies, and University of Maryland, College Park for her master’s degree in library science.

Barbara Anderson |
|
|
Barbara Anderson completed her MLS degree from University of Iowa in 1974, and since then has worked as a children’s librarian, an interlibrary cooperation consultant, an assistant head of a regional library system, a manager of a library mail room, and a circulation department. She has (very happily) been a catalog librarian since 1982.
For the past 30 years she has had the good fortune to lead the Virginia Commonwealth University Cataloging Department in their migration from ALIS to NOTIS to Aleph to Alma; from mainly manual to predominantly automated cataloging processes; from dedicated, scheduled OCLC terminals and one shared PC for the whole department to desktops and laptops and dual monitors for everyone; from books and LPs and filmstrips to streaming audio and video and e-books. She arrived on the scene as catalogers were adjusting to AACR2, and now, along with her staff, she is making her peace with RDA. In April, VCU’s Cataloging Department merged with the Serials Unit of its Acquisitions Department to form the Metadata and Discovery Department presenting new challenges and opportunities for cross-training and simplifying workflows for managing electronic resources. |

Elizabeth Kupke |
|
| Liz Kupke has been managing electronic resources and serials at Georgetown University since 2012. Prior to her work at Georgetown, she has held positions at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and the Maryland Department of Legislative Services. During her library career, Liz has focused on improving workflows related to the efficient management of electronic resources. And building on this, how best these workflows contribute to providing seamless access to users. This has ranged from looking at effective methods in acquisition, improving discoverability, cataloging resources, and tracking usage statistics. Liz is always working to make sense of the ever-evolving eccentricities of ERM workflows, and aims to educate others on how various systems can work for you, not against you. |
