Thank you for the write-up--this is Jen Phillips, I wanted to add a quick note of clarification on the information included above about the Raymond library. They pay a retainer of $20K for IT services, and when work is needed/done, it's subtracted from the retainer. It is not a *per-year* cost, it's an "as needed" payment.
I believe my main point stands: we are incredibly fortunate to have these services donated by a patron, saving us thousands of dollars every year.
