Use to be a Systems Librarian in a Academic Library. Libraries throughout the country are still running SPARC servers for applications that are still in production. Linux wasn't an option till just 8 eight years ago and libraries pay tens of thousands of dollars a year (About $.50 a book) for the content management systems.

Well thats certainly not a new application then!
Nothing in Library Science Technology is new! That is the reason why I am a former :) It was 100% frustration with old technology and no new solutions.
Except the Open Source options which the commercial companies did everything they could to bad mouth Open Source anything. So if I mentioned something the first three questions always included, "Is it Open Sourced." As in scary and I had a great relationship with my boss.
