| contents | Resistance to Technological Innovation in Libraries: Part III: Reviews of the Study. Final Report. Fine, Sara Attitudes Change Information Technology Library Automation Library Personnel Library Role Personality Traits Public Libraries Technological Advancement This final section of the report of a study on resistance to technological innovation in libraries begins with a summary of findings related to six research questions: (1) Assuming that resistance to technological innovation does exist, can a measure be developed to identify the resistance factor from items which tap the various dimensions of a generalized resistance toward technology? (2) When resistance to technology does exist, what are its related attitudes, beliefs, and reasons? (3) What are the values of technology as seen by librarians? (4) Do librarians differentiate personal and societal values regarding the acceptability of technological innovations? (5) Are personality variables related to resistance to technology? and (6) Is resistance to technology related to work environment and professional self-perception variables? An analysis of the findings, focusing on behavioral implications, is then presented. Four papers by outside reviewers, who were asked to reflect on the findings as they relate to the future of the profession, follow this analysis. (MES) |
