I have an interesting situation here. We had LibLime come and give us a presentation last week and I thought it would be best to invite the city IT staff to take a look so that they could be onboard with any decision that we make. However, what has happened is that they seem to think that they have the expertise to do this on their own. I shudder at the thought. They have already set up a server and are wanting my advice and guidance in migrating data. My advice is to contract it out, we don't have the resources or the expertise to accomplish this. So my question is how do I convince the IT department of this? I can't seem to get it through to them that this is not just any old SQL database. **************************************************************** Edward Veal (eveal@mail.ci.lubbock.tx.us) System Administrator Lubbock Public Library http://www.lubbocklibrary.com Mahon Library 1306 9th St. Lubbock, TX 79401 voice: 806-775-2849 fax: 806-775-2827 *******************************************************************
