Abstract
Information professionals integrate a variety of technologies and tools into their work practices and are often introduced to these while they are students in library and information science programs. This commentary examines recent trends, barriers, and potential approaches in teaching technology for LIS graduate students. Here we draw on our expertise teaching several technology topics, including an introductory technology survey course for graduate students, programming and database management, and intersectionality and technology. Rooted in a reflection on our perspectives as technology educators, our analysis focuses on this central question: How can library and information science instructors foster the confidence, curiosity, and comfort that students need to continually engage with an ever-changing technological landscape throughout the course of their careers?
