Introduction : information technologies and libraries : why do we need new critical approaches? / Critical theory of technology : an overview / Surveillance and technology : contexts and distinctions / Cycles of net struggle, lines of net flight / A quick digital fix? : changing schools, changing literacies, persistent inequalities : a critical, contextual analysis / Theorizing the impact of ITon library-state relations / The prospects for an information science : the current absence of a critical perspective / Librarianship and the labor process : aspects of the rationalization, restructuring, and intensification of intellectual work / "Their little bit of ground slowly squashed into nothing" : technology, gender, and the vanishing librarian / Children and information technology / Open source software and libraries / Technologies of social regulation : an examination of library OPACs and Web portals / Libraries, archives, and digital preservation : a critical overview / Conclusion : just how critical should librarianship be of technology? / John E. Buschman and Gloria J. Leckie -- Andrew Feenberg -- Gary T. Marx -- Nick Dyer-Witheford -- Ross Collin and Michael W. Apple -- Sandra Braman -- John M. Budd -- Michael F. Winter -- Roma Harris -- Andrew Large -- Ajit Pyati -- Gloria J. Leckie, Lisa Given, and Grant Campbell -- Dorothy A. Warner -- John E. Buschman.
In the last 15 years, the ground - both in terms of technological advance and in the sophistication of analyses of technology - has shifted. At the same time, librarianship as a field has adopted a more skeptical perspective; libraries are feeling market pressure to adopt and use new innovations; and their librarians boast a greater awareness of the socio-cultural, economic, and ethical considerations of information and communications technologies. Within such a context, a fresh and critical analysis of the foundations and applications of technology in librarianship is long overdue. --
