Re: [CODE4LIB] Lightning Talk ideas
Yeah, but really a boring list of ideas would work well for now I think.

I wonder if we could make it something like this: http://electroniclibrarian.org/erlwiki/Thought_cloud ranti.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Lightning Talk ideas
Would be nice to add these ideas to the code4lib wiki somewhere...

[CODE4LIB] Lightning Talk ideas
I know its a bit early to start thinking of these, but in the spirit of William Denton's talk proposal, What We Talk About When We Talk About FRBR, I thought I'd throw out a few title suggestions to get the ideas flowing.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Looking for your thoughts on the future of Libraries
The discussion of the value MLIS/MLS is interesting, and familiar. It is a discussion that always seems to go in one direction: namely, why do library technologists need MLS degrees? There are some pretty compelling arguments that they don't, but I'm curious what that means for librarians going forward. I went to library school during what I consider to be the Great Delusion of the Late Nineties. There was a palpable sense among MLS students and librarians that we were about to find our groove in the proto-Google web world. My intro MLS courses were chock full of readings about librarians being hired away by Fortune 500 companies to help them make sense of Information, and about these mystical skills that librarians possessed that allowed us some insight into Information that others could not possess without an MLS. What happened, of course, was that things changed quicker than MLS programs could adapt, and whether we liked it or not, our culture had moved beyond the need for librarians as gatekeepers. In the meantime, these amazing things are happening with open repositories, web services, and resource-oriented systems - things that should be front-and-center for emerging librarians, but often are skimmed because of the technical knowledge required. The result is that a lot of smaller academic libraries need to choose between enacting a really ambitious and forward-looking technology strategy, and protecting their MLS faculty lines. It seems like a doomed strategy in the long-run, but for a library director, I don't think there is an easy answer. So a lot of places try to have it both ways and fish for skilled technologists with MLS degrees. In my case, I went the other direction, currently working in a non-Library (but closely affiliated) technology group that is under the IT umbrella, despite having an MLS. So go figure...
