Public User Services & Technology: A Primer for Librarians is an open-access introduction to the tools, concepts, and practices that shape technology-centered public services in libraries. Developed through an OpenHawks grant at the University of Iowa Libraries, the book features student-authored chapters edited by faculty and graduate staff, each aligned to a core topic in public user services. Designed for MLIS students, beginning librarians, and library workers, chapters may be read independently or used as modular instructional and training resources.
