King on the Techie Divide
Text transcript from the PDF text layer
David King has an excellent post on the Library of Congress news that I linked to on Wednesday. ...at some point - library managers might need to treat technology skills like any other skill - it’s part of your job, you need to do it or find another job. That seems harsh, but really… would you hire someone to do telephone reference if they had no phone skills, and refused to learn phone skills? Would you hire a cataloger if they couldn’t catalog and didn’t want to learn anything about AACR2? Probably not. Worth reading.
