Hands-Free Augmented Reality: Impacting the Library Future
The Future of Cloud-Based Library Systems
Library Discovery: From Ponds to Streams
Review
"The chapters are well written and give enough information to help librarians brainstorm what could be the next big thing for their libraries … Another important aspect of this book is that it briefly discusses theories and concepts such as technological convergence and augmented reality that influence the adoption of a particular emerging technology. These concepts help stimulate strategic thinking on which technology is suitable for a particular library considering the user needs and availability of technical skills among the librarians."
