librarian.net » OSLC: Ten Things to Do to Your Computer Today

Presented by Don Yarman & Jim Mann. Online at www.oplin.org/presentations/tenthings.ppt This was a nice “how to” discussion which had matter-of-fact advice about keeping your Windows machines current. It’s rare to see these go smoothly without a lot of “Why is Microsoft so BAD?!” talk, this was very value neutral and very well-received.

Books | The Accidental Systems Librarian

The Accidental Systems Librarian takes the approach that anyone with a solid foundation in the practices and principles of librarianship and a willingness to confront changing technology can serve effectively in a library technology position—with or without formal computer training. Author Rachel Singer Gordon’s practical advice on using research, organizational, and bibliographic skills to solve various systems problems is geared to helping “accidental” systems librarians develop the skills they need to succeed and the confidence they need to excel. An essential book for any librarian who wants to deal more effectively with technology in her or his institution.

Do You Really Need a Consultant?

Will a consultant really meet your needs, or is it time to hire a system administrator? Could you use a volunteer to fix part or all of your problem? In many cases, nonprofits can best use a combination of all three resources for different needs. What is your overall technology support strategy, as you have worked it out in your technology plan? See the Technology Planningsection for help with the planning process. Before you decide to search for a consultant, ask yourself the following questions:

TechSoup's Guide to Finding Online Technical Support

When a problem is recurring, or skill level is an issue, more adequate Training may be the answer.
