Re: [CODE4LIB] lita
LITA is now the smallest ALA division. Personally, as someone who’s been involved with LITA for 20 years, I think the decrease is due to all the reasons Kevin cites below, and also because of something of an identity crisis - related to the advent of the Internet, as Eric says. LITA is the technology division of the ALA. *Everything* in libraries is done with technology now, so ALA members who once might’ve chosen to join the technology division choose instead to join other divisions, related to their other interests. Look at the list of ALCTS (the cataloging division) programs for any given ALA conference, or ALCTS list of CE webinars, and it’s all topics that might’ve once been more the purview of LITA. Of course I ran for LITA prez on that platform 6 years ago and lost so what do I know … deb On Jan 5, 2015, at 10:28 AM, Kevin Ford k...@3windmills.com wrote: I think this just goes to show, with the advent of the Internet, centralized authorities are not as necessary/useful as they once used to be. —ELM -- Maybe. I think it it recession-related. The high water mark for nearly all of the groups on that list is 2007 (2006 for one or two). The overall stats for ALA show the same membership pattern (increasing until 2007, decreasing thereafter): http://www.ala.org/membership/membershipstats_files/annual_memb_stats I'd be interested to know if LITA's membership decrease is greater (as a percentage) than the others. Perhaps that would suggest forums such as code4lib peeled off some of those would-be LITA members. Otherwise, it just looks like a broader decline in ALA membership, probably for a few reasons: fewer librarians in the workforce, fewer institutions willing to pay professional membership fees, less willingness to pay those fees out of pocket, etc. Yours, Kevin On 1/5/15 10:12 AM, Eric Lease Morgan wrote: I’m curious, how large is LITA (Library and Information Technology Association)?

Re: [CODE4LIB] College Question!
+1 - tho it may seem self-serving as an instructor in an LIS program … but do I agree with Diane, that an MA in LIS is still a valuable degree, due in large part to the professional values of librarianship, that [good] MA programs try to instill. I also agree with Diane that one of the things that makes librarianship interesting is that people come to it from so many backgrounds - so, yes, do pursue what you like in undergrad! (even if saying so makes it plain that I went to college in the 1970s) I am from the wanted-to-be-an-artist, got-an-art-history-degree, worked-in-restaurants-for-15-years path to librarianship, which meant that I wound up a photo archivist and library school instructor teaching web design, org of info and metadata. Not bad.

I've been working in libraries for about 45 years now, and have seen a lot of change. A couple of points bear emphasizing, though, from the point of view of someone who has taught in library school, worked in a number of different libraries, and seen a LOT of change. I started out in the days of typed/printed catalog cards, which should tell you something. One of the things I've loved about working in libraries is that pretty much everyone had a different start, with all kinds of undergraduate majors and specializations. Mine was in TV/Radio, and I only know one other person with that specialty, but it worked well for me in that I'm not afraid of microphones or big audiences (though in the late 60's and early 70's there were no jobs in that field for women). I ended up working full time in the library at Syracuse (I have both a B.S. and M.L.S. from there) as I was finishing up my undergraduate requirements, then moved to Boston and worked at Boston College and MIT libraries, for a total of about 4 years of library staff experience, in a broad array of departments. I worked full time at SU again (3 years) for my master's, again doing a lot of different jobs. What I learned from that is the benefit of postponing specialization for as long as you can, getting as much hand's on experience as possible before you finish your degree and 'declare' yourself. I agree with those who suggested that you choose your undergraduate major based on what floats your boat, but also take opportunities to learn as much as you can outside that major, including a solid grounding in the liberal arts. I started as a cataloger and ended up as a systems librarian, now I do a lot of different things (working with someone without any degrees but a fierce need and ability to learn anything he wants to know). I still think an MLS is a good thing, if for no other reason than the people you meet and what they teach you as anything else. There's also a cultural component to being a librarian that is not to be sneezed at--think about open access and copyright and privacy and how librarians are a big part of all those issues. My MLS courses were pretty terrible--that era was not a good one for library schools--but they've improved considerably since then and the good ones have broadened their scope around information architecture, data, etc., recognizing that they're not necessarily training people for libraries only. I've spent a lot of time around academic computer science types, and sadly have rarely been impressed with them and how they've been taught to think. I also wonder how relevant a degree or specialization in that area would 'age' over time--how useful would that education be twenty (or 40!) years from now? There are lots of technical things I wish I knew more about, but I'm usually better off finding out about them myself rather than consider formal classes or degrees.
