Technology Advisory Group

Charge:

The Technology Advisory Group is a forum for communication between Systems and Technology Services and all units of the MIT Libraries served by them. The group meets to share information on current STS activities and to keep STS aware of activities throughout the system that require support from STS. Its agenda focuses on how library units use technology in their daily work.

Areas for discussion will include:

• communicating emerging needs
  
• sharing information on local technology projects or initiatives
  
• reviewing system-wide priorities requiring support from STS
  
• reporting on problems
  
• discussing the capital equipment process
  
• identifying needs for training

The group meets on the first Friday of every other month.
