Michael McGuire · College & Research Libraries · 2018
At 177 pages, including index, this densely packed volume attempts to address all aspects of the role of an Emerging Technologies Librarian. The first glance or quick flip through a few pages would seem to show a bibliography style of handbook, a list of resources for further consultation. However, once one begins to read through the work, it becomes obvious the book has quite a bit more to offer. The book draws on author Nicole Hennig’s experience at the MIT libraries and her extensive writing, research, and teaching on subjects related to technology and libraries.
