Spitzer, Stephan – Computers in Libraries, 2012

Kirkwood, Patricia – Computers in Libraries, 2011
Researchers were the first adopters of digital resources available through the library. Online journals and databases make finding research articles much easier than when this author started as a librarian more than 20 years ago.

Huwe, Terence K. – Computers in Libraries, 2011
Social media now offer a fresh opportunity to enliven the learning process. But to gain traction, they will have to prove their relevance.

People see challenges to libraries in funding, in ebooks, and in the internet. However, in this information-rich age, librarians' roles are even more important. They are information experts.

Web 2.0, Library 2.0, Library User 2.0, Librarian 2.0: Innovative Services for Sustainable Libraries
Peltier-Davis, Cheryl – Computers in Libraries, 2009
Since its widespread public adoption in the 1990s, the internet has inextricably woven itself into every facet of human existence, influencing and in some ways reshaping every aspect of modern life--people's communication patterns, the way people seek information, the way people think, and, in some instances, the way people act. It is highly…

Stielow, Fred – Computers in Libraries, 2011
Today's academic libraries must demonstrate their value to cost-conscious university administrators.

Pretlow, Cassi – Computers in Libraries, 2008
Surprisingly, many tools exist on the web that can help sites become more inviting and easier to use.

Chudnov, Daniel – Computers in Libraries, 2009
Since most libraries are now hosting their own web sites, this author advocates for a social network centered on the work of building and supporting resource-rich library sites.
