Introducing New Technologies: Bringing in financial supporters, staff and library users
The current level of change in our communities’ use of new technologies ensures that libraries will continue to both introduce new technologies to improve library services and be called upon to help our community members use personal computing devices in their pursuit of further learning. We will be discussing implementation strategies for introducing new technologies in the library and training both our staff and the public in the use of those new technologies. We will also cover how your library can develop a technology plan for an organized approach to new technologies.
Learn how to:
- Prioritize technology implementations through assessment of the public’s interest in new technologies.
- Define the audience for a particular new technology.
- Assess the staff’s training needs for successful implementation of new technologies.
- Define your new technology project to align with the library’s service goals.
- Define benchmarks in a technology implementation project.
