Library technical services are foundational to the effective functioning of the library, yet success in this work is often measured by what patrons do not notice: seamless discovery of and access to library resources. This ""invisibility"" can mean that the scope, importance and impact of technical services work is not fully understood and in times of financial constraint technical services positions may not rise to the top of the priority list.
This presentation describes how the Collections, Discovery, and Scholarly Communication (CDSC) division at UNLV Libraries navigated continuous staffing shortages from 2020 through 2026 and how these challenges created unexpected opportunities to increase awareness of the division's expertise, complexity and strategic importance across the organization.
