ALA tech source on Librarian robot

Alatechsource.org (2008) Librarian, Robot | ALA TechSource [online] Available at: http://www.alatechsource.org/blog/2011/10/librarian-robot.html [Accessed: 30 Jul 2013]

The RSS feed I subscribed was to ALA (American Library Association) with the article I found on librarian robot, written by Kate Sheehan who has written over a dozen articles for the site with other people contributing to the site. On their blog/site they have articles about library technology like 3D printing in libraries, introducing the book as iPad app, establishing an e-reader lending program, purchasing e-books for your library and cloud computing for librarians for those who are interested for technology for their library. The authentication for their site is that they have contact details for their services on their about tab and there they have a link to their main site with their address with a link to Google maps to easily find where they are, telephone numbers, fax number and email on their about ALA link at the top of the page. They post up to two posts each month, the layout is simple and easy to use with list of recent blog posts, their contributors and an archive of their posts by month, that is why I think that this website is authoritative.

  1. This is an interesting article, Mark. I am glad you found it for us. Your citation and evalaution are fine, so welll done. For a university course you would need to fix up the grammar and capital letters. See if you can do that for us at some stage.

    Thanks
