Learning UNIX is a dreadful idea. If you think you want to learn UNIX, you probably should learn POSIX.
Implementations are transient; if we're lucky standards are durable. cheers stuart -- I have a new phone number: 04 463 5692 ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries <CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU> on behalf of Siobhain Rivera <siori...@indiana.edu> Sent: Tuesday, 28 October 2014 3:02 a.m. To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] Why learn Unix? Hi everyone, I'm part of the ASIS&T Student Chapter and Indiana University, and we're putting together a series of workshops on Unix. We've noticed that a lot of people don't seem to have a good idea of why they should learn Unix, particularly the reference/non technology types. We're going to do some more research to make a fact sheet about the uses of Unix, but I thought I'd pose the question to the list - what do you think are reasons librarians need to know Unix, even if they aren't in particularly tech heavy jobs? I'd appreciate any input. Have a great week! Siobhain Rivera Indiana University Bloomington Library Science, Digital Libraries Specialization ASIS&T-SC, Webmaster
