[WEB4LIB] "systems librarians"

[Brian Williams]

The book, The Systems Librarian by Thomas Wilson, pub by ALA last year is
not a bad place to start for general descriptions.

The nuts and bolts of system administration is in every course on
networks, unix system admin, NT system admin, and programming. Sort of a
large field.
