Library Technical Assistants (LTA)
Library technicians help librarians acquire, prepare, and organize material, and assist users in finding information. Library technicians usually work under the supervision of a librarian, although they work independently in certain situations. Technicians in small libraries handle a range of duties; those in large libraries usually specialize. As libraries increasingly use new technologies—such as the Internet, virtual libraries, and automated databases—the duties of technicians will expand and evolve accordingly.
