Next-Generation Technical Services (NGTS)
Next-Generation Technical Services (NGTS) is an initiative developed by the University Librarians and SOPAG as a consequence of work conducted in other key UC efforts. As an outgrowth of the UC Libraries Bibliographic Services Task Force (BSTF) Report, the UC Libraries are involved in a strategic partnership with OCLC to develop a "Next-Generation Melvyl" intended to re-architect the systemwide OPAC and transform the user experience of search and retrieval. NGTS will build on and complement that work by redesigning technical services workflows across the full range of library formats in order to take advantage of new systemwide capabilities and tools, minimize redundant activities, improve efficiency, and foster innovation in collection development and management for the benefit of UC library users.
The Council of University Librarians (CoUL) has designated SOPAG as the group responsible for overseeing implementation of the recommendations as prioritized by CoUL. See NGTS Implementation under SOPAG for current activities and documents. The information below documents the initiative through NGTS Phase 2.
