HRLC Technology Task Force

Technology Committee

The charge of the HRLC Technology Committee is to disseminate and share information and resources regarding the problems and possibilities of integrating existing and new technologies into our Region’s libraries. The Committee will work to keep HRLC membership informed about technology and how it might affect our libraries; provide opportunities for members to learn; and serve as a clearinghouse for technology-related information.
