Some things to consider
Time – content needs to be updated frequently
Policies – have these in place before you start
Promotion doesn’t just happen
Convincing staff and managers
Reliant on goodwill of staff – e.g. using own equipment
Filters – web and email
Be prepared to read bad things about your library/organisation
