Share 'Getting Along with Tech Staff'

This is another issue that concerns me. I think we must learn how to get along with tech personnel. Too often their is a big gap between librarians and tech, and sometimes there is animosity. I know all the reasons, or lots of them, such as tech people not having educational backgrounds, the pressures they have, etc. What I am wanting is ideas how to get past this impasse. We need to find ways!
