• W88406061 abstract "The biggest technology challenge facing the library profession today is that of preparing our employees to use the technology effectively. To meet this challenge, libraries must pay much more attention to technology training and computer skills than they traditionally have in the past. too long ago I found myself preparing to do a presentation in which my topic was essentially this: What do you see as the greatest technology challenge for libraries in the coming years, and what skills and competencies will be needed to meet these challenges? As I thought about these two questions, it seemed to me that the best way to answer them would be to reverse them and rephrase them slightly. Are there skills and competencies that the staffs in today's libraries lack to a significant degree? Yes, I argue, there is a serious shortage of basic computer competency in far too many libraries, among both librarians and support staff. What then is the biggest technology challenge facing our profession? Quite simply, it is the challenge of preparing our employees to use the technology. It will come as no surprise to readers of ITAL when I point out that computers, connectivity, and electronic information are playing an increasingly important role in what we do as librarians. They are, in fact, redefining our profession. This is not a new thing, of course. The MARC record has been with us nearly four decades now. have been using various forms of automated library systems almost as long. Electronic databases have been around a couple of decades (and more, in some cases), first as remote access files on vendor mainframes, then increasingly as CD-ROM products and other locally mounted files, and now we are seeing a growing trend of Internet-accessible electronic information. Connectivity, which originally meant something as simple as a dial-up connection to a remote database, now is truly achieved only by bringing the Inter. net, and especially the World Wide Web, to the desktop or public workstation. (We used to call it the OPAC station, but that is inadequate and inacurate anymore because there is so much more to it than just the online catalog of library holdings.) Now, more than ever before, it just is not possible to work as a librarian or a library staff member without using a computer in some way. In my library today, employees have microcomputers on their desks and they cannot do their job without them; they must know, or learn, how to use a computer. Some time ago, Charles McClure composed a sample job ad to illustrate the kinds of abilities that the librarian of the electronic age will need. Included in the ad were qualifications highlighting experience in managing electronic environments, experience with computing and in using TCP/IP, and knowledge of various computing architectures.[1] Louella Wetherbee once told me that more librarians needed to realize that their jobs require them to be sysops (systems operators, in other words).[2] That was back in 1994, and it is even truer now. Jane Burke said not too long ago that Librarians are network managers.[3] I have a slide that I like to use in certain presentations. I call it Not Just Cutters: Things we need to know. It contains several terms that relate in some way to how we deliver information to our patrons in the network age. Some of the terms on the slide are browser, html, http, lan/wan, discussion list, metadata, pdf, url. In order to do the job of librarian today and in the future we need to have at least a nodding familiarity with these things. Many of us need to be intimately acquainted with several of them. Because computers have assumed such a central role in our profession over the last few years, we librarians need to know more about them. In a recent article, Alan Krissoff and Lee Konrad make a couple of essential points: (1) For staff and patrons to consider themselves truly information literate ... it is essential that they develop both traditional literacy skills and fundamental computer literacy skills;[4] and (2) We . …" @default.
