While earning an MLS degree, students learn skills that allow them to master almost any electronic resource they encounter, however only one in five employees of libraries hold an MLS degree. For this reason, the electronic resources utilized by public libraries must be user-friendly and intuitive so that every employee is capable of using them. Below we present ten technologies that aid public library employees in their daily duties.Item Ten technologies for academic libraries(2017) Cento, Kristin; Ellis, Holly; Hicks, Heather; Holifield, Nicole; Seidel, Aaron"Emerging technologies can assist academic librarians in many areas of their work. It is sometimes difficult to determine which technologies will be worthwhile or applicable to a particular library. To aid in this process, we have compiled a list of ten of the top technology resources for academic librarians. As job roles and responsibilities can vary widely, we have chosen technologies that address organization, cataloging, retrieval, storage, and resources for patrons including students, faculty, and staff."--Introduction.
