Which term deals with the management of the library's digital resources and tools?

• A. Digital Literacy
• B. Technology Management
• C. Technology Acquisition
• D. Emergency Preparedness Plans

Answer: (B)

Managing the library’s digital resources and tools involves coordinating databases, e-resources, devices, networks, access controls, licenses, and ongoing maintenance so that users have reliable, secure, and seamless access. This scope is known as technology management, which covers planning, deployment, governance, and support of the library’s technological ecosystem to meet service goals and user needs. It’s different from digital literacy, which focuses on users’ ability to find, evaluate, and use digital information; from technology acquisition, which centers on selecting and purchasing new hardware and software; and from emergency preparedness plans, which deal with readiness and response to disruptions. Mastery of technology management keeps the library’s digital resources and tools integrated, up-to-date, and accessible.
