Publisher's Synopsis
As the range and extent of information increases, so do the problems of its identification and retrieval. The ever changing environment of Information and Communication Technologies compels librarians and information professionals to analyze their strategies so that they can play a vital role in the emerging global knowledge society. As the technology continues to change rapidly, it challenges the ability of people to develop a reliable and interchangeable approach to their work. This book appraises library and information professionals in order to develop their level of competency and understanding of the changes in technology so that they can advocate for adopting the same to make improvement in the services of library and information centers. *** "Highly recommended, especially for its methodical demystification of relevant media formats and computer programming tools, from magnetic tape to database software and more." - Midwest Book Review, Library Bookwatch, April 2015, The Library Science ShelfÃ?Â?
