Abstract

And the final chapter demonstrates the rewards of making oral history a part of your library. Nicole Hennig suggests that it is important for librarians to become familiar with voice-first computing for several reasons: Voice-first computing will likely be the next big revolution in the information technology arena Voice-first computing can be used in a variety of ways in the work place Voice-first computing opens up opportunities for the elderly, those who have difficulty typing, and for the disabled. Chapter 1 in I Library Services for Immigrants and New Americans i provides an overview of the waves of immigration to the United States and how libraries have responded to these newcomers over time. This book is highly recommended for public libraries with local history collections or libraries wishing to create a local history collection. [Extracted from the article]
