I am very excited to let everyone know about the latest project I’ve been working on, it’s a new series of books which I’ve been developing with Neal-Schuman Publishers that will be a collection of comprehensive, how-to guides for effectively using technology in libraries. There will be 10 titles to start with and I will be editing the series. Here's some additional info:

The Tech Set book series is a collection of comprehensive, how-to guides for effectively using technology in libraries.  Each book in The Tech Set tackles a new and innovative technology type and provides an A-Z primer to let librarians hit the ground running.  Written by the field’s hottest tech gurus and packed with practical instructions and advice covering everything from planning and development to marketing and metrix, each title is a one-stop passport to an emerging technology.  If you’re ready to start creating, collaborating, connecting, and communicating through cutting-edge tools and techniques, you’ll want to get primed by the Tech Set.  Through this series you will learn:

• How to use the latest, cutting-edge technologies
• How to plan for and develop library implementations of these popular applications
• How to utilize the social marketing techniques used by info pros
• How to measure your success with these new technologies
• How to follow best practices already established by innovators and libraries using these technologies

The series will be published in March 2010 at which time we'll be unveiling an awesome companion wiki chock-full of extras such as code snippets, sample budgets, worksheets, checklists, videos, and more. Here are the individual titles and authors:
