“Our technostress in these times is driven by the mass accretion of related technologies:  It’s not just HTML; it’s XML… It’s not just decent Web-authoring software…; it’s cascading style sheets, Javascripting, PHP, ASP, Perl, and more.  Indeed, it’s not just the Web; it’s also blogs, wikis, podcasting, and (lest we forget) our legacy systems like OPAC.  And on top of that, it’s security…  It’s a lot to assimilate, by any measure.  What’s more, proactive librarians don’t really have a choice about going “under the hood” and tinkering with new programming languages and technical platforms – we must experiment, because everything we do is a custom job.” (Huwe, para 8-9)
