Recommendations for New Networking Admin?

[Cary Gordon]

First off, you might get better results on the SysLib list (syslib-l at list.indiana.edu).

I am not really sure what you are including in "networking services". Is the consortium going to pull all of the wire out of your library on the way out?

Do they host your ILS? Your website? Your email?

A bigger picture would be helpful.

Thanks,

Cary

Currently, we are a member of a large consortium which provides virtually all of our networking services (among other things!), therefore, converting over to a stand-alone library is a huge change. As the IT librarian, I will be overseeing this conversion and all the subsequent networking for the library. Although I am not nervous about it (I’m rather excited actually), I want to be absolutely certain that I am not providing an inferior service riddled with security issues. Therefore, although I am doing some research on my own, I thought I would ask for any recommendations and/or information that anyone might be willing to provide, particularly in regards to security measures or anyone who has had a similar experience and has an idea of what I can expect. I hope this request isn’t too broad. ANY INFO at all would be greatly appreciated!
