ital-3176	Bertot, John Carlo	Public Access Technologies in Public Libraries: Effects and Implications	2009-06-01	12	.pdf	application/pdf	8451	369	46	The successful libraries in terms of PAT services and resources visited had staff that could n understand PAT (both in terms of functionality and potential); n think creatively across the technology and library service spectrum; n integrate online content, PAT, and library services; n articulate the value of PAT as an essential commu- nity need and public library service; n articulate the role of the perception of the library by its community as a critical bridge to online con- tent; n demonstrate leadership within the community and library; n form partnerships and extend PAT services and resources into the community; and n raise funds and develop other support mecha- nisms to enhance PAT services and resources in the library and throughout the community. At that time, public libraries essentially experimented with public- access Internet and computer services, largely absorbing this service into existing service and resource provision without substantial consideration of the management, facilities, staffing, and other implications of public-access technology (PAT) services and resources.	cache/ital-3176.pdf	txt/ital-3176.txt
