Re: [CODE4LIB] Systems Librarian / software developer

This has been a truly fascinating discussion to follow. My personal opinion is that many Systems Librarians in the near future will need to have some degree of developer skills to do their jobs most successfully (if that isn't already true), but many libraries might not recognize this when they

In terms of their ability to thrive, it really depends on the person. When I got moved into an Emerging Technologies Librarian position, I had virtually no CS or sysadmin background. But I was given space to learn and experiment and I went out and found the knowledge I needed. I worked on projects

Re: [CODE4LIB] Systems Librarian / software developer

As one of these rare weirdos who is a software developer with an MLS, my opinion from looking at jobs in the field is that one major barrier to hiring developers into librarian positions is salary. I got my MLS after having worked as a developer for a while, and after I finished my degree, the

Is the reason they don't want to list as a software developer because the pay scale for that would be higher than a 'systems librarian'? On Thu, Dec 7, 2017 at 2:01 PM, Edward Iglesias wrote: > Sometimes you get lucky as I did when I got two developers as >

Re: [CODE4LIB] Systems Librarian / software developer

Sometimes you get lucky as I did when I got two developers as interns/student workers. If you need someone in that position I would say put it in the job requirements. There are MLS librarians with CS undergrads or developer experience. They are just few and far between. I've also seen Systems
