The Unhinged Librarian·Updated Sep 12, 2026

Reporting from the part of library technology that isn’t in the sales pitch.

What your library pays, who owns the platform, and what happens when the license expires.

I help librarians look past the sales pitch and examine the deal itself: what the technology costs, who controls it, what the contract allows, and what happens when it fails.

If something feels off, start there. I pull the records together, explain what they show, and say where the evidence stops.
