New technology and services are fundamental to maintaining the
relevance of libraries today, but which technologies and/or
services make sense to implement, and which to avoid? Building from
a framework drawn in the overlap of design thinking with best
practices in emerging technology and library practice, this book is
a go-to guide for the active library practitioner and LIS student
alike. From the 3D printers and laser cutters of today's library
makerspace to collection development and library outreach, this
primer offers clear examples that illustrate the practical and
collaborative approach that ensures alignment and increases the
likelihood of success. Written as a textbook for LIS students in
the crossover areas of emerging technology, design thinking, and
library management, the book will also meet the needs of the active
library practitioner in public, academic, and special libraries,
both those new to the field and seasoned professionals. The
practical treatment and examples provided will be of interest and
immediate use. Questions at the end of each chapter give readers an
opportunity to think about the concepts presented. The book is also
designed to let the enduring values of librarianship and library
practice shine through, guiding the reader to navigate the future
of library technology.
