Managing Library Technology introduces library workers (including
non-technical managers, tech administrators and even "accidental
technologists") to core concepts in technology management and
provides strategies that will enable them to master the basics of
library tech. The content of the book is taken from the author's
popular American Library Association -approved Certified Public
Library Administrator course, "Management of Technology," and is
geared to the needs of all kinds of libraries. The book contains
easy-to-follow exercises and tools that have been tested in
real-world situations with students as they tackled their own
evaluation, planning and management challenges. Readers are also
given a roadmap to create a technology plan for their library-even
if they have no direct technology background themselves. This book
helps library workers understand the underpinnings of technology
and how to powerfully manage tech to serve patrons and staff alike.
Readers will learn: *How libraries fit into the overall technology
market *Strategies to future-proof library technology efforts
*Approaches to technology planning that stick - and strategies to
keep the plan on track *Skills to understand technology investments
by understanding the total costs of ownership and the specialized
library return on technological investment *How to collect and use
useful data and statistics without being overwhelmed *How to stay
current, knowledgeable and comfortable with rapid technological
change
