Reviews

To be an academic librarian today is to embrace emerging technology in strategic and sustainable ways. Whether opening a Maker space or adding a 3-D printer, a savvy library professional knows that hardware and software are just part of the story . . . Ippoliti considers these topics and more. Organized by sections such as Getting Started and Exploring the Implications, chapters include examples of recent projects large and small undertaken at academic libraries in the United States and Canada. Especially useful are the lessons learned segments in each of the 30 case studies. * Library Journal *
