The LITA Guide to No- or Low-Cost Technology Tools for Libraries provides a practical guide on how to find and use technology tools for a variety of purposes in libraries and, more broadly, in education. Each topic showcases two technology tools in detail and discusses additional tools and provides examples of how librarians or educators are using them in libraries and schools.

Types of tools covered are:
·Video creation tools, such as PowToon and Animaker, can be used to create animated videos to tell patrons about a new service or teach students about search strategies.
·Screencasts includes tools like Jing or Screencast-O-Matic, which can be used to show how to use a new library database or service.
·Collaboration tools, including tools such as Padlet or Lino It, can be used for student collaboration or teamwork with colleagues and sharing project ideas quickly and easily.
·Assessment tools such as Quizizz and Kahoot allow for gamified assessment of student or patron knowledge.

«Libraries of all types and sizes can benefit from Kirsch’s value-added recommendations.»
Library Journal

«An explosion of education, outreach and collaboration technologies challenges librarians to choose those that will best advance their ability to educate students, connect with community members and improve library services. Kirsch’s guide is the solution they need because it does all the groundwork for selecting the best, most accessible technologies and then offers smart, sensible tips for how to get the most out of them – without breaking the library budget. Librarians lack the time to learn it all when it comes to the technologies they need to be their most productive. Thanks to Kirsch, that’s now one less thing to worry about.»
Steven Bell, associate university librarian for research and instructional services, Temple Universi

«This easy-to-read book provides useful descriptions, how-to information, real-world examples, and comparisons of a wide variety of highly accessible technology tools. It is likely to inspire new projects at a wide variety of libraries.»
Mary Broussard, associate professor, instructional services librarian, and coordinator of reference

«This book will be especially helpful for instruction librarians looking for easy ways to increase collaboration and quickly assess learning in their classrooms. All the tools Kirsch describes are free (or almost!), which is an added bonus.»
Megan Hodge, assistant head for teaching and learning and assistant professor, Virginia Commonwealth

«Breanne Kirsch draws on her years of hands-on instructional technology experience to highlight practical, low-cost tools that will empower both new and experienced library professionals. For each tool, she identifies advantages and challenges as well as easy to-follow implementation tips. This guide is accessible to those on a tight budget and incredibly useful to those wanting to spice up their instruction and outreach.»
