[Web4lib] Demise of IT?

[Jennifer Heise]

A speaker at a conference I attended yesterday appeared to be suggesting
that in 20 years, no non-profit institution (including colleges) would have
in-house IT staff, but that it would all be outsourced (either to companies
or consortia).  I found this a profoundly disturbing idea, as I see
institutions without in-house IT support going downhill in terms of
productivity and effect. But what do others think?
