[CODE4LIB] You *are* a coder. So what am I?
Andromeda's talk this afternoon really struck a chord, as I shared with her afterwards, because I have the same issue from the other side of the fence. I'm among the 1/3 of the crowd today with a CS degree and and IT background (and no MLS). I've worked in libraries for years, but when I have a point to make about how technology can benefit instruction or reference or collection development, I generally preface it with "I'm not a librarian, but...". I shouldn't have to be defensive about that. Problem is, 'coder' doesn't imply a particular degree -- just the experience from doing the task, and as Andromeda said, she and most C4Lers definitely are coders. But 'librarian' *does* imply MLS/MSLS/etc., and I respect that. What's a library word I can use in the same way as coder?

I don't know of any developed for III, but I'd also be interested if you discover any. Maccabee On 3/24/2010 12:05 PM, Park,Go-Woon wrote: This is cool.
