I enthusiastically recommend the Library Technology Essentials series.  Many libraries will want to invest in the entire set as a professional development resource since they will inevitably face some degree of involvement with each of the volume topics.  Library technologists will want one of these books at their side as they launch new projects or initiatives.  Ellyssa Kroski has shepherded a collection that makes an important contribution to the professional practice of library technology.
