[Irtalk] Outsourcing Technology: A Practical Guide for Librarians : Robin M. Hastings : 9780810892477

[Hilton Gibson]

The care and maintenance of technology is a specialized field requiring a
diverse set of skills to perform properly. Many libraries find it difficult
to attract skilled people because of a lack of personnel budgets, because
of a location that is rural enough to have a limited applicant pool, or
because the library lacks enough technological savvy to make effective
hiring decisions. *Regardless of the reason for the lack of technological
skill in a library's staff, there are ways to outsource major technological
functions of the library so that even very small libraries can have the
same access to technology as the big libraries*-and big libraries can
manage huge technological projects with the same resources and skills as
multinational companies. Outsourcing Technology: A Practical Guide for
Librarians will provide the information and guidance needed for both the
smallest libraries to embrace technology and the largest libraries to get
the most from their technology investments with tips and tricks for
libraries of size between as well.
