If I’ve spoken to you at conferences, meetings or just passing in the hall, you already know this…
As traditional print libraries become more focused on electronic resources and services, many librarians feel pushed to adopt too many of the latest technologies just to keep up with times. I take a practical approach in my philosophy of technology implementation: if a particular technology does not work for you and your clients, do not do it. I espouse this philosophy in all of my talks and presentations about blogs, wikis, games etc. Time is our most valuable resource, and if we attempt to adopt every new information technology we run the risk of sinking too much time into resources and services that may not best serve our clients. Before undertaking any new project, closely examine the costs and benefits to determine its potential.
