Library Information Technology Association (LITA)

In a previous course called, Foundations of Library and Information Science, I found several good refereed articles in the publication of Information Technology and Libraries:ITAL.  This publication is located on the LITA website.  Being connected to this site will assist in gathering updated information technology for librarianship and research in the library communities.  Check out this link to the LITA website:  http://www.ala.org/lita/publications

My Profile

Hello,
My name is Edna Foxhall and I am a graduate student at Valdosta State University pursuing a Master in Library and Information and Science.  I earned a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in education from Alabama State University.  Working as a library assistant in an academic library for over five years have energized me to pursue a career in librarianship.

Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to identify and explore the growth of technological environments in the 21st century.  And to discover what is happening in the techno-environmental world of librarianship.

Introduction of Topic

Welcome to techno-environment, which is a snapshot view of technology uses in libraries that is of interest to professional information specialists.  I will blog on any aspects dealing with technological environment in the 21st century libraries.  The focus will be on infrastructure, ergonomics, and other technology uses in the libraries.
