2nd presentation talking about the Eploratorium. Remind me to Google it.
The 2nd half of this presentation should be attended by all librarians.
Learning to be a geek
Let go of the library stuff no one else cares about
Spend time with IT folks

Sam is the oil to Don and my vinegar.
IT Touches everything. (gross)
Don't tell IT because then they won't let you do it, just let them know about half way through.
Even though things seem simple not the outside, they are incredibly complex on the inside.
In IT you're not judged by what you know, but by how quickly you can learn.
Details matter
90% of the work is done up front, before the project building begins
Computers are not a capital expense.
If you're budgeting for IT add up all the equipment, the software, decide by 4 and that's how much you should budget for.
Computers only last for 4 years.
THE ABOVE IS SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND REGARDING GRANT PROPOSALS
Social media is NOT IT.
IT is a highly specialized set of fields.
90% of IT is invisible
Ignore security at your peril
Most fraud comes through the IT department.
Spend your capital up front. Cheaper and better to do it right first rat here than have to upgrade in a year.
IT should be a part of all planning committees. This is especially relevant to our organization at this period of time.
