Technical Services oversees a variety of tasks that support library services including:
Linscheid Library serves as a State Textbook Curriculum Review Center for Congressional District #4. For more on the Oklahoma State Textbook Committee, you can visit their website. At this time, appointments are required to view the physical material at Linscheid Library. Contact Megan Hasler to set up an appointment.
A major focus of Technical Services is cataloging. Cataloging involves putting information about available resources in the library's catalog so it can be searched online, and preparing items for the shelf.
Linscheid Library is a part of both the Federal and State Government Document programs. This means that the library receives documents from both the Federal and State governments that are provided so that government information is easily available.
The library uses a variety of unique computer systems and programs to function on a daily basis. Some of these include the library website, the library catalog, and SpringShare programs which bring such features as the chat option.
At times books in the library collection have damage that can be repaired, rather than requiring the purchase of a new copy. Possible repairs include gluing in loose pages, taping torn spines, and creating boxes to contain books from Special Collections which should not be repaired and need protection.
