Trade ReviewTo be an academic librarian today is to embrace emerging technology in strategic and sustainable ways. Whether opening a Maker space or adding a 3-D printer, a savvy library professional knows that hardware and software are just part of the story . . . Ippoliti considers these topics and more.
