Asked to make recommendations based on the needs of the members, we asked the question, “What are their needs?”

SE/A TECH RAC

The Techno logy RAC 's charge i s to represent the needs of Network members and target populations, review and make recommendations about SE/A programs and funding ini t iat ives, and develop p ro g r a m m i n g r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s a n d plans that will assist the SE/A in meeting its goals and objectives.

ONE CLASS THEY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS YEAR

Page 14: Emerging Technologies in Medical Libraries: Librarian Interest and Perceived Challenges

We asked respondents

to tell us how interested

they were in 23 specific

technologies on our

collective radars.

They rated them on a

scale of 1-5.

TECHNOLOGICAL BARRIERS

Page 20: Emerging Technologies in Medical Libraries: Librarian Interest and Perceived Challenges

¡ For the most part, our data reinforced our anecdotal experience of the needs and wants of the users

¡ Librarians were most interested in current and popular technologies and issues that were affecting their practice at the time, though they also seemed to have an eye to the future

REACTIONS

Page 21: Emerging Technologies in Medical Libraries: Librarian Interest and Perceived Challenges

¡  Combine resources to address the barriers brought to light in the survey

¡  Use information about user interest/need to develop new CE courses

¡ Work on ways to be able to of fer more technology courses ¡  Brainstorm delivery methods that address established needs

and barriers

One development from the results:
