Descriptive
Summary: This study of librarians began with technologies used, such as
database usage, and also looked into technologies librarians would like to
learn, such as coding. There was a discussion of barriers to learning or using
technology in the libraries, such as lack of training opportunities or funds to
implement changes. The results were broken down by how long the librarian had
been employed with the interest in learning technology peaking at 3-5 years.
Evaluation:
An interesting study because it addresses the attitudes of librarians towards
technology and how willing they are to learn more.
Keywords:
technology, library technology, librarian, online information services
