[CODE4LIB] Aviary, Try 3 - 6pm
Hey there! Apparently, trying to get into a bar, yesterday, on Mardi Gras day is a bad idea. But we have reservations and assurances that getting there at 6pm will be a good idea and that we'll just waltz right in. Those of you who are going to Goose Island, you can totally come by for one drink or two with plenty of time to catch the bus. This is totally a great idea which can have no negative consequences at all. So let's meet at 5:30 right by the exit to the UIC forum. I'm wearing a grey shirt, and look like I obsess about cocktails.

[CODE4LIB] C4L2013 Islandora Dinner (Update)
Hello everyone, We currently have 12-13 interested parties for dinner. I've suggested Pegasus (within range of the Crowne Plaza), and I'll be looking to reserve the table within 14 minutes. Please let me know if there are any other interested parties (I don't wish to delay the reservation too much longer). Best, James On 02/13/2013 10:38 AM, James R.

If our entirely awesome presenters can, just drop an email on this thread
or link into the IRC with your slides right before you go up. That way the
talks that use code and small text can be followable without squinting.
If you use dropbox, dropping the share link into IRC is super easy.

[CODE4LIB] C4L2013 Islandora Dinner (Update)
Hello Everyone, If you're still interested in the Islandora dinner being held at Pegasus (at 06:30PM) but have not contacted anyone, please be advised that Pegasus only permits OpenTable reservations of up to 15 people. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit. If you wish to reserve table(s) under another name, then please, by all means do so (or, if you prefer, contact me, as we already have one additional person looking to join us). Best regards, James
[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 can pronounce Willamette and living in WA; does that prove your point? My dad still says Warshington, which boggles my mind. How do you get an 'r' in there? As for this debate, I used to be in the LIB group by find myself slowly sliding more towards LIBE. I have no idea why.

Re: [CODE4LIB] You *are* a coder. So what am I?
I just say I work in libraries -- that describes anyone with or without the degree. It's not as concise, but it conveys the right idea. I see no reason to preface anything you say with what you don't have. If people require your resume to decide if your ideas are any good, it's just not a good sign. kyle On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 4:22 PM, Maccabee Levine levi...@uwosh.edu wrote: 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.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Lib or Libe
People, people. Can we agree that lib is simply easier to say than libe due to the shorter vowel sound? Can we also agree than the best coders are, by nature, lazy? Therefore, lib wins.

Re: [CODE4LIB] You *are* a coder. So what am I?
I'm not in Chicago, and I didn't see this talk, so maybe I'm way off base, but isn't a coder a programmer, or even a software engineer? Last time I checked, programmer/software engineer is a clear, well-established and well-respected occupation (and generally far better paid than most Librarians, at least outside of the library world). Why can't library coders claim the title of programmer/software engineer?

Re: [CODE4LIB] You *are* a coder. So what am I?
Hello, I think all Librarians should know some code. What ever happened to the polymath distinction that came along with the territory, for librarians. And now that information science has been included, along with an information environment that will be dominated by everything digital; how can we continue in this profession without knowing how to code. I think many are against the idea because they don't want to learn or even feel they can't.

Re: [CODE4LIB] You *are* a coder. So what am I?
Shirley, I would hesitantly call myself a coder. I would _never_ call myself a software engineer. I am also a librarian. I think what Andromeda was probably arguing (not that I would deign to put words in her mouth) was that we should get over our imposter syndrome and stand up for our skills.

Re: [CODE4LIB] You *are* a coder. So what am I?
If a person writes programs -- code, then one is a coder. It's as simple as that, whether one has a computer science degree or not. I have always been puzzled by the self-consciousness betraying a lack of confidence that librarians suffer about what they do. Is Librarianship a profession? seems to be a perpetually unanswered question that I have never seen anywhere else. Chemists, doctors and lawyers don't seem to have this sort of second guessing themselves about what they do. Why should those in the library profession? Andromeda's short presentation was a good one.
