{"product_id":"best-technologies-for-public-libraries","title":"Best Technologies for Public Libraries","description":"\u003cb\u003eEmerging technologies can intimidate with their cost and uncertainty—this book provides flexible options for adopting the most popular ones.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nIntroducing new technologies to your library can be a daunting process; they can be costly, they may be unfamiliar to many staff members, and their success is far from assured. To address these concerns, \u003ci\u003eBest Technologies for Public Libraries\u003c\/i\u003e accommodates budgets large and small, providing options for both the ambitious and the cost-conscious. \n\nAuthors Christopher DeCristofaro, James Hutter, and Nick Tanzi provide a resource for staff looking to incorporate a number of emerging technologies into their library and makerspaces. Each chapter explores a new technology, including 3D printing, drones, augmented reality, and virtual reality, covering how the technologies work, the selection process, training, sample programming, best practices, and relevant policy. By describing a variety of program and service ideas across age groups, the book gives readers the ability to first evaluate them within the context of their own organization before incorporating ideas à la carte. This approach helps readers to adopt these new technologies and create policies with uses already in mind.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54218279879000,"sku":"9781440869280","price":58.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/best-technologies-for-public-libraries","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
