Computer Cookbooks

Lori Reed (PLCMC) and Kam McEvoy (CTLS) and their MaintainIT Cookbooks

TechSoup for Libraries interviewed hundreds of librarians about how they maintain public computers, and published their experiences and ideas in free guides called "Joy of Computing" Computer Cookbooks. Packed with tips and techniques from public librarians from across the country, inside each Cookbook you’ll find practical information covering the essential topics around maintaining library technology. Read Library Spotlights to learn more about the people who contributed to the project. Visit TechSoup for Libraries' website and sign up for their monthly newsletter.
