Technology Planning
Need help with technology planning? Novare’s President wrote the book on it!
At Novare Library Services, we know that technology is more than just hardware and software—it’s how your staff works, how your community connects, and how your library moves forward. That’s why our technology planning is always rooted in people.
We take the time to understand your unique workflows, service priorities, and community needs. Whether you’re planning a major upgrade, responding to emerging challenges, or simply looking for a clearer path forward, our team will help you create a technology roadmap that makes sense for your library.
Our approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—instead, we craft realistic, scalable plans that reflect your library, not someone else’s template. From infrastructure and equipment to staff training and patron access, we help you align your tech goals with your mission.
Let us help you build a thoughtful, people-centered plan that supports your team and strengthens your library’s future.
Training Assessments That Build Staff Confidence and Capacity
At Novare Library Services, we believe every staff member deserves the chance to grow, and every library benefits when teams feel confident, supported, and prepared. That’s why we offer customized training assessments to identify skill gaps, build practical knowledge, and foster a learning culture across your organization.
Our process begins with listening. We use tailored surveys, interviews, and real workflow analysis to understand your team’s current skill levels and training priorities. We look beyond job titles to evaluate what staff need to succeed in their day-to-day roles—whether that’s navigating internal systems, supporting patrons, or learning new digital tools.
Using our NovareTrain platform, we can deliver pre- and post-training assessments to ensure learning objectives are met and staff are truly competent in the areas that matter. With clear reporting, individualized progress tracking, and support for both in-person and online learning, your library gets a complete picture of professional growth.
