Business and Tech Knowledge BOTH Needed!

[Alex Fayle]

     I'm beginning to get a sense that we have an either or situation 
     happening. The other viewpoint I'm seeing is that ALL the skills 
     needed must be in ONE person.
     
     I thought the 90s were all about team work, knowledge sharing, and 
     cooperation. Personally, I'm not a techie, or a librarian (I'm a 
     records manager, btw), but know enough to know when to approach the 
     other people I work with (the techies and librarians), when I find 
     myself out of my depth (as I would be with MARC records <shudder> or 
     C++ <another shudder>). I would also expect (and they do) the techies 
     and the librarians to come to me with questions about records 
     management (electronic or paper), which they surely encounter in their 
     day to day activities.
