For those working in a small library, particularly one that
may have little technical support, a foundational knowledge of technology is
crucial. Written for librarians, library staff, and administrators at libraries
serving populations of 15,000 or less, this LITA guide shows how to
successfully develop, implement, sustain, and grow technology initiatives. The
contributors draw from personal experience in rural libraries and regional
state university libraries to offer guidance for making sound technology
decisions. Whether looking for a quick answer or starting an in-depth
technology project, readers will quickly find basic information on the full
range of library technology, organized into chapters with numerous headings for
easy scanning. Topics include- An overview of library technology basics
- Electronic resource fundamentals, including a look at licensing issues
- Webpage development, Open-source (OS) applications, and a six-step plan for social media and social networking
- How to create and sustain an effective technology strategy
