Redeploying Staff-Q4

To what extent do the library and information technology units collaborate effectively on back-end system needs and technical support? Should we?

What are we already doing related to the question?

If we wanted to consider starting this initiative or expanding what we are already doing, what do we want to learn about it from our future speakers? What questions do we want to ask during our upcoming speaker series?

  1. I'm not that familiar with system needs, but it seems to be effective having a team dedicated to the Library System so that when a problem occurs it is dealt with very promptly by a team that understands Library needs and priorities.

  2. I'm sure that because I work in Library Systems that I'm somewhat biased. But my thoughts are that as more and more systems go to the cloud, IT will still be needed for desktop support, public areas, training rooms, network storage, computer/network policy, unique smaller library systems, new technology, to name a few. Thus, I believe it will continue to be critical for IT and Librarians to collaborate to ensure goals are being met.
