It covers audio/video, self-publishing, mobile services through lending tablets, crowdfunding campaigns libraries have used, wearables, the Internet of Things, security/privacy, and ways for libraries to keep up with new technologies through various publications, conferences, and online sources.

More frequent posts = more frequent reading. • Be careful of falling down rabbit holes of information and fun stuff – your time is precious. Don’t Try to Know Everything
- 46. Learning a New Tool • Read about it online, then play with it • Read the screen • Push the buttons • Take your time • Don’t be afraid • Do the ‘driving’ yourself
