*** My apologies for cross-posting this message *** I also apologize for my delay in sharing results from a survey of technologies and technology skills used by librarians and library staff members that I posted here back in late September 2018. I am happy to point you toward them at https://tinyurl.com/y74pwdrf (or the longer URL <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qC948ITpCB0pKEyJwG8eonGAAhShmOKcj7ZnnEBh-rk/edit?usp=sharing> if you need that). My thanks to everyone who took time to take the survey. More details from the survey will be available in the 6th edition of my book (*The Neal-Schuman Library Technology Companion* - ALA, 2019), which should be out by next summer. I hope these results are of interest and advance our collective understanding of what skills and competencies are widely present and/or required in libraries. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have on the survey. Please let me know if you have any questions or further thoughts on technology competencies in general or this survey in particular. Thank you! John *John J.
