She should make a note to reference the additional technology in her essay.

Reason: the early technology is directly relevant to her topic (how library-organization technology changed over time), so she should record and include it. If the finding raises new angles worth investigating, she can add a related research question as a follow-up, but she should not change her main research question to focus solely on that one technology.
