Neal-Schuman Library Technology Companion: A Basic Guide for Library Staff

This all-in-one volume will guide you on how to successfully conceptualize, purchase, implement, and maintain your library's invaluable "tech" assests: computers and networks, software adn systems, storage devices, electronic resource references, and online searches, and it provides expanded coverage of increasingly popular tools, including blogs, wikis, MP3s, open source software, and distance learning.
