Implementing and maintaining effective technology services is a perennial challenge for libraries; for small to medium sized libraries, it can be overwhelming. Often without a technology expert, and with limited resources, they must address customers’ growing appetite for electronic information amid constant technological changes.
Not a techie? Not a problem. A librarian and technical expert join forces in this thorough and easy-to-understand primer. Expansive and practical, it offers detailed how-tos, nine reproducible forms, and inspiring stories from libraries that have demystified the technology implementation process.
Library leaders, directors, department heads, and trustees can access hands-on tools to:
* Offer premium services and save money with reproducible forms
* Keep the plan dynamic and organized with worksheets for planning, budgeting, and more
* Use smart staffing tips to cover tech needs
* Find the latest resources on the companion web site
For any librarian wanting a comprehensive overview, "Technology Made Simple" offers clear answers to overcoming libraries’ tech challenges.
