Not Knowing Is OK, Trying Is Better

I loved this recent post on the ALA Tech Source blog, about helping library staff feel more comfortable with tech troubleshooting.

My favorite quote: "We are a profession devoted to the idea that not knowing something isn't a problem."

Read through the comments too, especially Jessamyn's...I'm really looking forward to her book!

    I heard Jessamyn speak at one of the CAL conferences in Denver and she makes technology appealing and not intimidating. Thanks Melissa!

    It is articles (and books) from people like this that will give people like me the renewed resolve to say, "All right! Maybe there are others with the same hesitancy I have. I will make the effort it takes to keep more current where technology is concerned and not give in."
