Not even a little! :-) I was mostly responding to a perception that, for many in the code4lib community, "Central IT" is a bogeyman to be avoided/deferred to at all costs. Those of us in libraries tend to self-select as the sort of folks that will find a way to get something done, no matter what. I think the profession would benefit from more of us saying, "Well, OK. Then that's not going to get done. Go explain it to the dean." Kudos to you for doing stuff on your own time (and your own dime, no less). And please don't let my little rant scare you off. Turning good, wholesome librarians into...er...whatever it is that most of us here are...is what we do best :-) -- Bill Dueber Library Systems Programmer University of Michigan Library
