Jim,

 

Give me a short topic title and I will run with it. If want to get a
couple of other people to host a discussion with you, that would be fine
as well.

 

 

Thanks,

Barry

I kinda wanted to make it a broader topic then just about the library.
I am

interested in having a discussion with what others are doing in their IT

department to conserve resources (virtualizing etc), alleviate stress on

staff (tools to make IT life simpler SMS, Citrix Third party) and what
the

biggest challenges people havein IT  and how they have resolved them.
