Abstract
New Top Technologies Every Librarian Needs to Know is a compilation of chapters by various authors from technical and digital public services backgrounds edited by Kenneth J. Varnum. A follow up to Top Technologies Every Librarian Needs to Know, also edited by Varnum, the Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) has published this second volume to review the predictions from the first, and “take a gaze into 2018’s near-term future with a new set” (xi). Recognizing most libraries have embedded some technologies previously discussed in the earlier volume fully, such as text mining, digital libraries, and cloud-based systems, while others such as virtual reality (VR) are still in the nascent stages, this volume explores how some technologies have changed, as well as investigating new ones being developed and implemented now.
《每个图书管理员都需要知道的顶尖新技术》是一本由来自技术和数字公共服务背景的不同作者撰写的章节汇编,由Kenneth J. Varnum编辑。继Varnum编辑的《每个图书馆员都需要知道的顶级技术》之后,图书馆和信息技术协会(LITA)出版了第二卷,回顾了第一卷的预测,并“用一套新技术展望2018年的近期未来”(xi)。认识到大多数图书馆已经完全嵌入了之前在前一卷中讨论的一些技术,如文本挖掘、数字图书馆和基于云的系统,虽然虚拟现实(VR)等其他技术仍处于起步阶段,但本卷探讨了一些技术的变化,并调查了目前正在开发和实施的新技术。
