Produktbeschreibung

Libraries today, regardless of their type or location, are reliant on technology. Almost every process or procedure in the library is dependent upon skilled use of computers, hardware, and software. Integrated library and discovery systems enable patrons to manage activities such as creating lists and holds, to perform self-checkout, and to search multiple library catalogs and databases simultaneously. This text is written for the library support staff who are the backbone of technology success. Each chapter provides a practical overview of how the technology advances library services. With abundant examples of how to apply the technology in real situations, it is an essential handbook for students entering into the library profession as well as for those who seek to become more confident and competent with these technologies and more: Computer hardware and peripheralsIntegrated Library and Discovery systems Software applicationsOpen SourceCloud ComputingMobile applicationsNetworking InfrastructureOnline MeetingsSocial MediaMobile TechnologiesDigital media equipmentSTEM/STEAM MakerspacesCoding and RoboticsCybersecurityThe Library Support Staff series is aimed for staff that work in libraries and want to enhance their skills, college professors who teach library support staff instruction, and students who seek new learning in the library profession.
