CONCLUSIONS

There is no mysterious formula that will eliminate technostress for librarians. Technological changes, and our struggles to deal with them, will persist.  Knowing that we will continue to face these challenges, it will be important to keep the human element in mind, and "keep in balance the demands of the future with the need for some degree of stability and familiarity" (Goldborough, 2005, para 5). 

As Kupersmith states, positive attitudes and sensible coping and management strategies will ease our struggles and benefit both librarians and users, enabling us to concentrate on the excitement of being at the heart of true revolution (para. 66).
