Library Technology

Are you a librarian or a library technician or support staff?  Web 2.0 provides you with tags that helps you organize Web contents and share information with friends.  Create a social book marking today to enable you flow along with other colleagues.

Your library could appeal to your patrons if you make use of the connections you have now.  Web 2.0 connects you with the latest information on:
  • Locating vendors and getting the best bidding.
  • Buying and guide tips.
  • WebJunctions where library staff could come together to connect, create, and learn.
  • Installing products and configuring how they will work in your library.
  • Continuing education - participating in online conferences and workshops (you don't have to travel for this, just click on the right tag).
  • Subscribing to e-books and getting the best books for your collection development.
  • Getting rid of all the non-essential stuff on your shelves through logical weeding.
  • Updating your readers through book reviews, music, videos/DVDs, audio,gaming, and the like.
The world of technology is vast.  It is also true that technology changes but right decisions must be made to update the information you provide your patrons; otherwise, one might wait for ever.
Let people enjoy visiting your library.  Go ahead and click on this link for further information.
