This recent spate of message leads me to wonder: How many folks here who
"code for libraries" have a library science degree/background, vs. folks
who come from other backgrounds? What about folks who end up in
technology management/direction positions for libraries?
Personally: Computer scientist and systems engineer, did some early
Internet-in-public library deployments, got to write a book about it.
Not actively doing library related work at the moment.

(specifically:

to chat for your masters paper.

Hey Jennie,
I'm waaay south of MA but I'm pretty addicted to talking about coding
as
a library job O_o. If you are still in want of guinea-pigs, I'd love to
skype / hangout.

hey Code4Lib,
Do you work in a library and also like coding? Do you do coding as
part
of your job?
I'm writing my masters paper for the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and I'd like to shadow and interview up to 10 librarians and
archivists who also work with code in some way in the Boston area for the
next two weeks.
I'd come by and chat for about 2 hours, and the whole thing will not
take up too much of your time.
Not in Massachusetts? Want to skype? Let me know and that would be
possible.
I know that this list has a pretty big North American presence, but I
will be in Berlin beginning July 14, and could potentially shadow anyone
in
Germany as well.
Best,
Jennie Rose Halperin
