Brannon, Sian – Computers in Libraries, 2010
No matter how cutting edge (and nicely funded) one's library is, there is always something cooler and more efficient on the horizon. Granted, not all new technology may be necessary in the library.

Hamby, Rogan – Computers in Libraries, 2012
The technology of the 21st century has had no shortage of challenges for libraries, but it has also brought opportunities.

However, libraries have taken…

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…

Today's academic libraries must demonstrate their value to cost-conscious university administrators.

Ennis, Lisa A. – Computers in Libraries, 2008
Miscommunications and misunderstandings surrounding common words that have one meaning in library-speak and a different meaning in IT-speak are all too common.

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.
