Address the issue of how the library plans to use technology to help accomplish its goals and mission in future years. While forecasting technology trends even one or two years into the future is difficult, it is still helpful to develop a broad, general vision on the use of technology in the future. If your technology plan is more than 4-6 pages, develop a summary highlighting major goals or initiatives. Background and current state of technology Provide an overview on how long technology has been used in the library. This can be done from a chronological perspective and, if necessary, further divided into service areas.
Goals are statements outlining the anticipated achievement of various services.
List the major goals or activities for the library that will be accomplished through the use of technology. Place the goals in priority order. If there are many of them, subsort them by function or service area. Most often specific objectives are listed under each goal and serve as a measurable means to help accomplish the goal. Goals and objectives can include maintaining or enhancing current services or implementing new services.
