From Booklist
Intended for librarians working at any library, regardless of type or size, this book details the issues, concepts, and components involved in preparing or updating a technology plan. Chapters are organized around a step-by-step approach to structuring a plan, beginning with a description of the library and its challenges, proceeding through an analysis of both the library's current technology environment and the greater technology environment, making recommendations, and updating the plan. Well articulated, insightful, and brimming with practical information, this book has much to recommend it. An already fine text is enhanced by samples, figures, notes, suggested Web sites, tables, appendixes, and an index. A very helpful book that would benefit all libraries.
