About this title

Synopsis

Describes how to develop a technology plan, maintain it, and use it as leverage in grant and budget applications, and includes on the CD-ROM plans developed in public, school, academic, and special libraries.

Reviews

For those seeking practical advice on writing a meaningful and useful technology plan for their library, this handbook is a blessing. Step-by-step chapters take the planner through all stages of plan development. Most chapters are very well rounded though some are a bit skimpy on detail; each has a bibliography of other resources for more information. The text itself includes some specific examples of plans, but even more useful is the CD-ROM that holds 52 full technology plans developed by academic/research, public, school, and special libraries. Although the majority are from public libraries, any of them could potentially serve as a valuable model for any library type. Many of the plans are also available online, but no other comparable resource exists that brings all this information conveniently together. Cohn and Ann Kelsey are the director and associate director of the library at the County College of Morris (Randolph, NJ), while Keith Fiels is the director of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. For all libraries.
