The question is "What are we going to stop doing to allow us to work on these new things?" Alomost every time we have stopped to really look at this question we have found things that could be stopped or redistributed...but you have to ask the question!

But what about those public service librarians who are "too busy" to maintain these tools? I know that that is the case in many libraries - the staff who should be in charge of the project claims to be too busy (or are too busy) and then the maintenance is passed back to the IT staff - who probably are too busy - and then the whole thing falls apart. I didn't plan on that turning into that rant - but it's the case in many libraries - sometimes it's not that the IT staff wants to control the technology - but that they were the last resort.
