The library tech education you didn't get in grad school.

Your vendor contract is designed to confuse you. Your board is asking about AI and nobody trained you for that conversation. Your "all-in-one" system is 200 HTML files in a trench coat.

This is everything they should have taught you. Vendor strategy, contract negotiation, AI governance, migration playbooks. No sponsors, no vendor kickbacks, no career to protect. Just 18 years of things learned the hard way, given away for free.
