INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT
TECHNOLOGICAL BARRIERS
¡ For the most part, our data reinforced our anecdotal experience of the needs and wants of the users
¡ Librarians were most interested in current and popular technologies and issues that were affecting their practice at the time, though they also seemed to have an eye to the future
REACTIONS
¡ Combine resources to address the barriers brought to light in the survey
¡ Use information about user interest/need to develop new CE courses
¡ Work on ways to be able to of fer more technology courses ¡ Brainstorm delivery methods that address established needs
and barriers
