In the last decade library collections have rapidly evolved from a
predominance of print books and journals to an ever growing mix of
digital and print resources. Library patrons are predominately
served by support staff that is expected to know how to help
patrons select and use digital resources. Yet most library support
staff (LSS) has not had training to become proficient in finding,
using, and instructing others in the abundance of the digital
resources of websites, databases, e-texts, digital libraries and
their related technologies. Library Technology and Digital
Resources: An Introduction for Support Staff is both a text for
professors who teach in library support staff programs and an
introductory reference manual for support staff who work in
libraries. This book will guide the LSS to be able to: *Distinguish
key features and enhancements found among vendors and providers of
digital libraries, digital collections, databases, and e-texts;
*Plan, budget, fund and write grants for digital resources;
*Understand the complexity and options of licensing and usage
agreements for digital resources; *Know copyright permissions and
acceptable use guidelines for digital resources. *Understand the
basic technologies that support library digital resources including
network structures, software applications, and protocols;
*Distinguish between directories and search engines as they relate
to digital resources as well as be able to employ advance search
skills effectively; *Explore the resources of global, national, and
state digital libraries and their collections; *Use government
databases and other digitized systems and information sources;
*Find exemplary digital resources though other agencies such as
museums, university collections and other sources that librarians
can share with patrons. *Create local digital resources of primary
and historical materials and artifacts with metadata and cataloging
for searchable access. *Interpret meaning from library digital
resources using visual literacy skills. *Promote library digital
resources through a variety of means including social media and
online options.
