Editat de Nancy D. Courtney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2010 – vârsta până la 17 ani
In this valuable book, 11 chapters each overview a technology of interest to librarians working in the field today.From cloud computing to data curation to open-source software, the world of technology offers great opportunity-and potential frustration. Nancy Courtney and her team of IT experts have set out to enhance the former and alleviate the latter. More Technology for the Rest of Us: A Second Primer on Computing for the Non-IT Librarian follows up on Courtney's 2005 technology volume by tackling the most recent advances in IT. Each chapter describes a technology important to the library field, explains how it works in terms a non-IT professional can understand, and describes its uses.The essays in More Technology for the Rest of Us are not meant to make readers experts, but to provide a basic introduction to some of the current technologies impacting libraries and their patrons. Articles are brief and clearly written, and computer jargon is defined and explained. Each chapter lists references for further information, and there is a selected bibliography and glossary at the end of the book.

Recenzii

Utilizing many screen captures as examples, this book is a one-stop resource for gaining a basic overview of topics such as Web services, digital data preservation and curation, cloud computing, learning management systems, content management systems, metadata repurposing using XSLT, and more. The articles are sufficiently nontechnical to be suitable for a non-IT librarian but do require enough tech savvy to understand basic terms and concepts.
Helpful in recognizing how these aspects operate on a regular basis. Librarians are given effective communication tips when dealing with the IT department.different authors cover each chapter thoroughly.
