Librarians Dream of Electric Cats: A Tech Team’s Journey into the World of Emerging Technologies

The Ruth Lilly Medical Library's Technology Team (Tech Team) came together at the beginning of 2015, under Library Director, Gabe Rios. A 2018 interview with the Director was published in the NEJM's LibraryHub that provides an overview of introducing emerging technologies into environment. The addition of the Emerging Technologies Librarian was the catalyst that allowed people to move forward and create new services. In this article, the team expands on 3D printing, data visualization, virtual and augmented reality, who helped humans along the way, and some funding resources.
