Integrating Technology in Librariesas following ways - Digital catalogs and online databases for remote access - Self-checkout kiosks and RFID systems for efficient circulation - Digital media (e-books, audiobooks) for diverse learning styles - Interactive learning spaces with smart boards, laptops, and tablets - Virtual services (online research, webinars, digital literacy programs)

Pela minha experiência, considero compreender as demandas e envolver tanto a equipe quanto os próprios usuários no processo de planejamento e implementação. Outro ponto interessante é realizar avaliações constantes das ferramentas, investir em treinamentos para aumentar a familiaridade com a tecnologia e estabelecer canais de feedback ajuda a ajustar continuamente os serviços. Adicionalmente, a integração de dados de uso, com respeito à privacidade, também permite que as soluções tecnológicas sejam personalizadas, criando uma experiência mais intuitiva e relevante para todos.

Usually, I will ask the user which technology they are familiar with or want to try out. Then, I will find out the technology with a good and user-friendly feature. I would first choose several users to try out the technology and get their feedback.

Hablaré desde mi perspectiva también de UX. Es importante conocer las necesidades de los usuarios, y la forma más eficaz de hacer esto es mediante el uso de la Inteligencia Artificial y realización de cuestionarios, mapas de calor, entrevistas, etc. Por otro lado, es cierto que existe un problema real en cuanto la integración de tecnología en las bibliotecas, pues no todos los usuarios saben navegar en un PC y es ahí cuando se comprende que necesitamos formar a nuestros usuarios, animandolos a responder sus dudas y sobre todo, dando la confianza y las herramientas necesarias para que se sientan lo más seguro posible. Soy fiel partidario de hacer un seguimiento y entramiento de IA, pero eso es a libertad del bibliotecario.

I integrate technology in my libraries in the following ways: - Promoting platforms like JSTOR and EBSCO to support inquiry-based learning and critical thinking. - Integrating library programs with ManageBac and Google Classroom to simplify workflows. - Providing workshops and one-on-one sessions to enhance tech adoption for IB projects. - Creating guides and video tutorials to make tools more accessible to users - Regular meetings with teachers ensure tech aligns with curriculum needs.

Here are some steps to achieve integration: first, identify library’s approach to aligning technology with users’ needs. After understanding these needs through surveys, observation, and feedback. Next select technology that aligns with the library’s resources, focusing on key criteria like accessibility, strong security protocols for data privacy, and scalability. Ensure that library staff receive ongoing training stay up-to-date, continuously learn, and grow, helping to create an effective and integrated platform. Regularly evaluate the technology’s performance and proactively adjust strategies as user needs evolve.

Yes the ideas mentioned are very effective. I only want to add two important points. First, the motivation of staff towards the use of new technology is mandatory otherwise whatever skills we provide, their lack of interest ruins everything. Second, required regular upgradation of tech equipment to sustain that technology. Therefore piloting is effective to develop interest in the staff and integrates new technology in libraries

First of all, I will conduct library workshop so the patrons will be familiar with the library technology and services. After that, collecting data by distributing quesstionare. In conclusion, analyse data based on library resources and services to meet users expectations. Integration new technology to library begins with utilising the available resources for example, kisok machine, RFID tag, library friends tags, online database, offline access to facilitate the effective use of library resources and equipped technology in a useful way.

Integrating technology into library services can be tricky, but it’s definitely doable. Here’s how: 1. Keep upgrading your tech and stay open to new ideas—don’t dismiss something without giving it a fair shot. 2. Make e-books easy to access. If users have subscribed to a book, they shouldn’t have to deal with constant bugs or glitches. 3. Ask for feedback from users about the tech they want to see or improvements they need—it’s crucial. 4. Don’t get stuck doing things one way. Staying flexible is key to keeping up with advancements and making progress. These steps can help libraries meet user needs and stay ahead in a digital world.

les Systèmes intégrés de gestion de bibliothèques (SIGB) tels que PMB ou Koha facilitent aujourd'hui l'interaction entre la bibliothèque et les usagers à travers l'Online public access catalog, le formulaire personnalisé, la DSI, l'intégration des réseaux sociaux et la veille.
