The e-book includes videos of interviews with librarians that are using them. The videos are available on a web site for people who purchase the print book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first four chapters--Audio \u0026amp; Video, Self- and Micro-Publishing, Mobile Technology, and Crowdfunding--all look at older technologies reinvented and reimagined through significant advances in quality, scale, or hardware. Many libraries were already using these technologies in some way, and are now able to change and adapt those uses to meet current needs and take advantage of the latest improvements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe two next chapters look at new technologies: wearable technologies and the Internet of Things (simple but powerful computers that can be embedded into everyday objects and connected to controllers or data aggregation tools). The last two chapters--Privacy \u0026amp; Security and Keeping Up With Technology--are all-purpose topics that will continue to be affected by new developments in technology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach of these chapters offers a brief overview of background information and current events, followed by a list of advantages and challenges to using these technologies in a library setting. The authors highlight the most useful or most well-known tools and devices, then specify how these technologies might be used in a library setting. Finally, they look at a variety of current examples from libraries in the United States and around the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Koerber,Michael Sauers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442238879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442238879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.26w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2015 pg. 97","brand":"Jennifer Koerber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48439168860415,"sku":"9781442238879","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb7d1f42-a38e-4dff-ba5b-9b214657afd7.jpg?v=1777175899","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emerging-technologies-jennifer-koerber-9781442238879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
