Free as in kittens

Karen Schneider, the Free Range Librarian, posts that free technology is usually free as in kittens: You may get it for free, but the maintenance costs are perpetual. Perfect analogy. And it’s just part of a really useful article in the ALA site about managing library IT. “Most of us are buckling under the weight of what we have to support,” Karen writes.
