(unfortunately, sometimes it is local government that can block something so small.) <br /><br />There has to be a balance and most importantly trust. We do have to be more nimble when it comes to technology projects as technology is ever changing, and quickly.jdscott50https://www.blogger.com/profile/04229906352079565341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31106814.post-73811466351420746362009-12-08T06:20:01.832-08:002009-12-08T06:20:01.832-08:00I like the way you refocused the question away fro...I like the way you refocused the question away from technology to attitudes about change. That really is the crux. I think the "10 Things" list is targeting an old school administrator who still hasn't quite gotten it. A neighboring library system recently sent out a list serve request asking other libraries for input as they created a taskforce (yes, a taskforce) to explore whether they should have a facebook or twitter page. Instead of waiting until it appears the technology boat is about to leave us behind and then acting, library administrators need to be listening and learning about what the future holds for not only libraries, but also business, technology, nonprofit fundraising, etc. Not so that we can jump on each and every bandwagon that comes along, but so that we can be writing mental notes to ourselves about how these things may connect with the mission of our library. <br /><br />Helpful stuff to think through - thanks!Frontline Librarianhttp://www.frontlinelibrarian.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31106814.post-37303480432012310412009-12-04T18:33:20.322-08:002009-12-04T18:33:20.322-08:00Thanks for the link.
