Dealing with IT departments

Well my first whingey post at my new job. I have to say that it is incredibly frustrating dealing with an IT department that do not want to let go of control. I understand that security is of high importance.

RFID self-check machines

I have been analysing our brand new RFID self-check machine that we are planning to install at our latest library to be RFID’d. It is quite interesting how the different vendors program their RFID machines to work. I know that

Standards, guidelines and recommendations

After my whinge last week about the building audit’s recommendations, I am back with yet another document to complain about this week! (aren’t I great?) It’s not really a complain thing, more of a comparison thing I guess. Living Learning

Really Dodgy Archives (aka RDA)

RDA just clicked. The little man who turned the lights off in my head at the ACOC conference the other week decided to come visiting and turn them back on. Thankyou little man. Okay, if we ignore authority data (which

Brisbane City Library – Built from Lego Blocks and steel

Brisbane City Library – Built from Lego Blocks and steel

Oooh, pretty. According to one of the staff at the library (I took a tour), this is one of the top 5 buildings in Brisbane that people ‘love to hate’. It reminds me of the Ernst & Young building in
