Promoting the Library's
CD Collection via iTunes File Sharing One of the hippest things you can do with technology
is to use it to meet students on their own turf.

was a lot to discover at the library. And the students

Hip High-Tech Purchases
Don't Always Work Out as Planned Since technology is so expensive, making the
wrong purchasing decisions can have severe financial

could have done differently, and how the equipment
is being used today. by Dennis P. Prisk and Monica G. Brooks
