Technology is always evolving and lots of patrons access the library in order to use the technology. As part of your job as librarian, you will have some interaction with devices such as computers and all of their applications, printers, iPads, copiers, and more. The interviewer is looking to get a gauge on your comfortability with these devices. If you are very tech savvy and know your way around a device, be sure to state your experience. If you are not as comfortable, be open and honest, while still highlighting your ability to learn quickly and keep an open mind.

"I am comfortable navigating most devices within a library and can even troubleshoot some issues. I am familiar with Google Suite and Microsoft Suite, I can set up a printer, and I have experience working with iPads, copy machines, and scanners. I can usually figure out whatever it is that I need to do, but I'm not afraid to ask for help or contact the IT department if there is an issue. I am generally comfortable with technology and always open to learning new skills."
