Technology Resources for Academic Librarian

March 12, 2017 5:10 PM

I am an academic librarian with a good understanding of technology. However, I definitely have holes in my knowledge. Most of my issues relate to networking, firewalls, and authentication for accessing content. I'm wondering if anyone had some suggestions for readings that will help me learn these concepts on a practical level. I like to joke that I know just enough to be dangerous! Thanks!

Does your school have a Lynda (or other tech training) subscription? I'd start by looking there. Lynda has a course called "introduction to networking" that should address the first two topics.

Response by poster: We actually do have Lynda, so I'll review their offerings. Thanks!

Have you seen Library Carpentry? They might have something useful. The same org's Data Carpentry is also very cool.
