Abstract

Although information technology has mede locating and organizing information faster and easier in many ways, it also constitutes a source of stress for both public services librarians and users. Identifies a number of sources of technological stress, ranging from poor typing skills to poor interface design. Proposes several ways to reduce technological stress, such as implementing a system gradually, communicating with staff about what to expect, providing adequate training for librarians, creating proper documentation, choosing ergonomically sound hardware and software, selecting a well designed interface, and involving library staff and users in system design
