The Joy of Computing Cookbook (pdf) comes from the excellent MaintainIT Project, and is an excellent resource for smaller, rural libraries who are trying to manage their technology within confined budgets and tightened schedules.
Like the MaintainIT project, the project is collaborative in nature, drawing upon the experiences of librarians and library staff from all over. It is also another example of how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is helping the libraries that most need help.
One suggestion: because it would be a handy alternative for many, I recommend that the project make the book available in paper form, via a print-on-demand company like Lulu.com. They could offer the book at cost, which would let people have a traditional book option for this excellent resource.
