With the introduction of the new Tennessee Standards for Non-Metropolitan Public Libraries this year, a lot of emphasis has been placed on the demands put upon the work of library directors and trustees by the Standards. With this presentation, I would like to discuss how the Standards, and the new technological expectations contained within those standards, will relate to the front-line and non-administrative staff. The program will focus mostly on the technology expectations and how programs like TEL and R.E.A.D.S. play an important role for libraries of all levels in the implementation of the new Standards.
