SUMMARY Special collections libraries are evolving to include electronic resources in addition to the papers, books, photographs and artifacts that have been collected in the past, and technical services must evolve and change as well. This overview examines new and traditional duties and staffing. New responsibilities will include managing electronic rights and resources, preparing scanning and digitizing projects, overseeing online catalogs, and developing metadata standards. Staff will need thorough grounding in fundamentals of technical services work, as well as the ability to cooperate across departmental boundaries. The special collections library will become an important information portal in the twenty-first century.

For years archivists and manuscript curators have heard their librarian colleagues sing the praises of automation. Online catalogs, bibliographic databases, sophisticated computer searches, and all the other touted benefits of automation seemed to have exciting implications for the archival world. The reality of library automation, though, often fell far short of the promise, as library online catalogs frequently have proven too limited in both record length and search and management capabilities to give archivists the control they need over their unique collections.
