Systems

This post ends the time that this blog was being created for a systems class I was taking. I originally planned to discuss RFID technology and its implications for the library world. I was also going to talk about some benefits and problems of digitization projects in archives, museums, and special collections. As you may have noticed I never discussed either of these. I got side tracked by the technology side of blogger. I ran into 'little' problems that I thought I could fix quickly and spent more time than expected on it. Before this project if you asked me to make some changes to some XML I would have said I couldn't do it but now I realize it is much closer to HTML than I thought so I can do an okay job with certain changes.
This whole things has shown me that no matter how lofty your goals are you need to take care of the technology side of your problem but it has also shown me that you should not get distracted by the tech side to the point that you don't reach your goal. I tend to get distracted by technology so I need to remember that it is being used for a specific purpose and to ensure that the goal is being reached.
