#ITLiteracy

Nicolas Bach: Nicolas Bach reviews the second edition of Lang and Bohne-Lang’s ‘Praxishandbuch IT-Grundlagen für Bibliothekare’. The book introduces essential IT concepts tailored for library professionals—especially newcomers—covering systems, metadata, RFID, digitization, and current topics like machine learning and makerspaces. While praised for accessibility, structure, and pedagogical clarity, the review critiques its limited source referencing, uneven chapter weighting, and omission of non-commercial tools and up-to-date Discovery system discussions. A call is made for more inclusive language and open access. Nonetheless, the book remains a recommended starting point for those entering library IT or expanding their digital understanding amid rapid technological change.
