The article describes the job of library's system administrators. Librarians who serve as systems administrators are never without a long list of tasks on their to-do lists, and every one of those tasks is a top priority. There are suggestions for system improvements from both staff members and library patrons, all with different opinions on the "right" system design. Another site that can help the busy systems administrator keep up with network security and digital privacy is Vitalsecurity.org. This nonprofit organization's goal is to disseminate the latest information on developments in the online world.
