Teen librarians generally have fast-paced, demanding schedules; and often have difficulty managing their time and keeping up-especially with technology. Furthermore, teens are the library customers who often push the envelope when it comes to technology. In addition to having other job pressures, librarians serving this age group struggle to keep up with what teens know and are interested in, and how to best serve their technology needs. In fact, technology can help teen librarians work more efficiently. This book shows how.
