Abstract

Libraries provide physical and intellectual access to high quality information in its myriad formats. To fulfill their responsibilities, librarians have incorporated technology into most aspects of their practice. Librarians work with their communities to provide relevant resources and services. These resources are increasingly digital in format, and libraries incorporate technology to insure physical and intellectual access to them. Technology has transformed library spaces, both physical and virtual. Librarians also use technology to provide value-added content and services. The Library of Congress and OCLC exemplifies instititutions that leverage technology to provide optimum programs. This is explored in this chapter.
