LITA certainly welcomes medical librarians (both in tech positions and
not)!

I don't disagree with that, that's for sure. What it DOES suggest is that
the closest thing to tracking "librarian" vs "not" is likely how they
self-identify for dues purposes, which means that the data is probably not
so good.

Based on previous experience, I doubt this truly captures whether someone
thinks of themselves as a librarian. I've always found those categories
arbitrary (an MLS does not a librarian make) and sometimes divisive.

There's a different dues schedule for librarians (-slash-certification
required-slash-managerial) and "support staff", so along that dimension
it
presumably gets tracked, at the very least.

Honestly, I don't know if ALA tracks whether people have an MLS/related
degree or if that's self-selected. I know folks who call themselves
librarians but who aren't degreed--those would be self-selected.
I'll see if we can find this out--I'm curious!

I'd be curious about something: how many LITA members are not
librarians?
I work in a library as a web developer, which includes a medical
library,
but I don’t have an MLS. So, question: is the Code4Lib list more
open
to
technical folks, but not necessarily librarians?
