In today's world, library users are confronted with almost too many options for using information because of the ubiquitousness of technology. Yet, libraries can harness the power of the same technologies to help users find the information they need at the time it is needed. The tools described in this article represent a starting point for librarians looking for technologies that are easy to use, inexpensive, and have a reasonable learning curve. Technologies addressed include classroom technologies such as audience response systems and Web-based technologies, including Web tutorials and screencasting. These technologies enhance and offer flexibility and variety in many educational settings.
在当今世界,由于技术的无处不在,图书馆用户在使用信息时面临着几乎过多的选择。然而,图书馆可以利用同样的技术力量来帮助用户在需要时找到他们所需的信息。本文所描述的工具为寻找易于使用、成本低廉且学习曲线合理的技术的图书馆员提供了一个起点。所涉及的技术包括诸如观众反应系统等课堂技术以及基于网络的技术,如网络教程和屏幕录制。这些技术在许多教育环境中增强并提供了灵活性和多样性。
