Barba, Ian; Cassidy, Ryan; De Leon, Esther; Williams, B. Justin – Journal of Web Librarianship, 2013
Proper planning and assessment surveys of projects for academic library Web sites will not always be predictive of real world use, no matter how many responses they might receive.

Coutts, Brian E.; LaGuardia, Cheryl – Library Journal, 2010
The lyrics from the Ervin Drake song made famous by Frank Sinatra, "It Was a Very Good Year," kept coming to mind in 2010, despite the economy. While the quantity of works produced declined, and publishers suffered along with everyone else, there was no diminution in quality. With reduced budgets for collections, librarians were forced to make…

Dempsey, Beth – Library Journal, 2010
Self-service is a hit. From gas stations to banks to grocery stores--it has become table stakes for retailers who aim to satisfy an increasingly independent consumer. Libraries are no exception, and, in fact, with their card catalog past, they may well have been in the vanguard in enabling customers to find what they want on their own. Card…

Chudnov, Daniel – Computers in Libraries, 2010
People using libraries will expect to receive more of what they provide in more ways and in more places. It's already the case that people presume they should be able to do things they can do at the library through the web. Because they can do that, they presume they can use the libraries through their phones and their tablet computers. To some…

Gamble, Jay – Library Media Connection, 2011
Library teachers can no longer do business as usual--their students' deep learning is at risk! Expanding current collection of books, CDs, and DVDs is progress, but library teachers cannot allow their facilities to become warehouses for information resources. Their library learning commons should be a place buzzing with the hustle and bustle of…

McShane, Ian – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2011
In recent years public libraries have experimented with user-generated or community-contributed content through the interactive tools of Web 2.0.
