Yes.

I agree.  I work side-by-side with MLS's every day.  They have great
skill in selecting, summarizing, organizing, structuring, and accessing
information.  (sounds like good skills for a DBA).

They simply need to be introduced to the potential of Open Source.
There are no salepeople out there promoting the benefits of Open Source
to librarians, so I though it was time that I do it.
