[book1.jpg]Tarulli, Laurel.  The Library Catalogue As a Social Space: Promoting Patron Driven Collections, Online Communities, and Enhanced Reference and Readers' Services.  Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited, 2012.  025.3132 Tarul    ISBN 978-1-59884-629-4

This book is a guide to the library catalogue that all public library professionals will find enlightening and useful. Its technical services perspective provides a different point of view as compared to traditional public library literature, which is often written by frontline professionals. For example, it poses and examines this thought-provoking question: should library catalogues be considered the primary gateway to the library's information, rather than the library website?

Author and collection access librarian Laurel Tarulli examines next-generation or "social" catalogues, discussing the theories and concepts behind them, their impact on core library services, and their potential in shaping future libraries and library services. Geared toward frontline and backroom staff, this book helps readers understand next-generation catalogues and see the collaborative opportunities that are possible between the frontline and backroom. Written to be much more than a "one-time" read, this resource book provides practical ideas for beneficial collaboration and implementation of social features in library catalogues.

[book2.jpg]Courtney, Nancy ed.  More Technology for the Rest of Us: A Second Primer on Computing for the Non-IT Librarian.  Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited, 2010.  025.00285 More   ISBN 978-1-59158-939-6

>From cloud computing to data curation to open-source software, the world of technology offers great opportunity-and potential frustration. Nancy Courtney and her team of IT experts have set out to enhance the former and alleviate the latter. More Technology for the Rest of Us: A Second Primer on Computing for the Non-IT Librarian follows up on Courtney's 2005 technology volume by tackling the most recent advances in IT. Each chapter describes a technology important to the library field, explains how it works in terms a non-IT professional can understand, and describes its uses.

The essays in More Technology for the Rest of Us are not meant to make readers experts, but to provide a basic introduction to some of the current technologies impacting libraries and their patrons. Articles are brief and clearly written, and computer jargon is defined and explained. Each chapter lists references for further information, and there is a selected bibliography and glossary at the end of the book.
