2.5 TRANSLATING GEEK
So,. how. does. one. go. about. learning. to. translate. geek,. or.
where.do.you.ind.these.folks.who.might.be.your.organiza-
tion's.all-important.translators?.In.this.section.we.take.a.look.
at.those.two.questions.and.consider.things.you.can.do.to.cre-
ate.these.important.liaisons.within.your.organization.
First. think. about. ways. you. can. understand. more. about.
both.sides.of.this.language.barrier..You.already.made.a.good.
start.by.virtue.of.having.started.this.topic..The.concepts.and.
ideas.we.discuss.in.detail.will.go.a.long.way.toward.allowing.
you.a.better.understanding.of.both.the.legal.side.of.the.issues.
and.the.IT.side.
Once.you.begin.to.get.a.better.idea.of.the.what,.where,.
and.how.of.electronic.evidence.you.will.be.well.on.your.way.
to.understanding.how.to.assist.your.IT.and.legal.staff.in.work-
ing.together.
But.you.can.learn.even.more.by.paying.attention.to.the.
sources.of.information.that.IT.folks.count.on.to.keep.them-
selves.up.to.date..At.the.end.of.this.topic,.an.extensive.list.
of. resources. is. presented. in. Appendix. A.. One. section. is. a.
list.of.some.of.the.more.accessible.books,.magazines,.Web.
sites,.and.online.magazines.or.blogs.about.IT.and.information.
security.that.you.should.start.spending.time.with..By.reading.
and.checking.those.on.a.regular.basis.you.will.begin.to.pick.
up.the.lingo.and.understand.the.concepts.that.IT.profession-
als.use.every.day.
Also.listed.in.the.resources.you.will.ind.references.to.infor-
mation.about.recent.legal.rulings.as.well.as.some.good.prim-
ers.on.the.law.and.how.it.works..Again,.by.spending.some.
time.with.these.resources,.you.can.begin.to.educate.yourself.
and.become.the.valuable.liaison.that.your.organization.needs.
However,. if. you. are. not. motivated. to. take. on. this. new.
role.yourself,.maybe.you.would.rather.look.for.others.in.your.
organization.who.might.have.this.level.of.understanding.and.
be.able.to.take.on.this.role.(FigureĀ 2.7).
