As libraries everywhere face budget cuts,
investigating new technologies may not seem like
a top priority. But technology doesn’t need to be
expensive: free or low-cost software programs can
enhance and extend your library’s services,
regardless of its size and budget. If your service
goals are colliding with the realities of budget,
time, staff, and IT support, come hear from
librarians working in diverse settings how they
have used budget-friendly technological solutions
to meet such challenges.
