The Limits of Technology

Using Jenny’s technical difficulties and my own comment spam problems, which have waned temporarily, Jessamyn writes about the limits of technology and how they can thwart our work:

"As librarians, we need to be able to deliver information. If the technology is keeping us from doing that, we should hope that we’re not so married to the information delivery mechanism that we can’t retool and endrun and deliver the goods, not just say “computers are hard” or “we’ve got a licensing agreement” or “this software doesn’t do that” and throw up our hands."
