LM_NET: Library Media Networking
My co-worker has been teaching a class at Univ. of S. Al. on Managing the
LMC. When she started telling all the potential LMS what their duties would
be, they were amazed. They had viewed the job of LMS as a teacher and how
easy it looked to them. A great quote from a professor at Auburn Univ. --
All your former teacher friends will look at you differently.
