Here's a one-stop snapshot of emerging technologies every librarian
should know about and examples that illustrate how the technologies
are being used in libraries today! The e-book includes videos of
interviews with librarians that are using them. The videos are
available on a web site for people who purchase the print book. The
first four chapters-Audio & Video, Self- and Micro-Publishing,
Mobile Technology, and Crowdfunding-all look at older technologies
reinvented and reimagined through significant advances in quality,
scale, or hardware. Many libraries were already using these
technologies in some way, and are now able to change and adapt
those uses to meet current needs and take advantage of the latest
improvements. The two next chapters look at new technologies:
wearable technologies and the Internet of Things (simple but
powerful computers that can be embedded into everyday objects and
connected to controllers or data aggregation tools). The last two
chapters-Privacy & Security and Keeping Up With Technology-are
all-purpose topics that will continue to be affected by new
developments in technology. Each of these chapters offers a brief
overview of background information and current events, followed by
a list of advantages and challenges to using these technologies in
a library setting. The authors highlight the most useful or most
well-known tools and devices, then specify how these technologies
might be used in a library setting. Finally, they look at a variety
of current examples from libraries in the United States and around
the globe.
