OLA Technical Services Award Library Support Services Team, Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board With most of our teacher-librarians shouldering additional responsibilities beyond their libraries, (i.e., planning time) they rely heavily upon Library Support Services to assist in the development, maintenance and delivery of quality library collections for staff and students. Library Support Services consists of two departments: one central, one itinerant, led by Supervisor Greg Smith. The Central staff handle the cataloging and processing of library purchases, maintenance of the board-wide Symphony database and a comprehensive Media and Professional Catalog. Itinerant technicians play a large role in supporting school staff directly, dealing with everything from repairing, weeding and shelving books to advising on collection development and processing books at a school level. This department, as a whole, consistently goes over and above to provide a unique combination of leadership, technical advancement, training and development for our teacher-librarian community.
