Subject: Too Many Library Jobs
The code4lib community -- a community of programmers, designers,
archivists, and others interested in library technology --
collaboratively runs a mailing list, IRC channel, journal, and
conference, along with a few other projects. One of those projects,
put together recently by LOC's Ed Summers, is code4lib jobs [2], a
program that automatically pulls relevant job postings from multiple
sources and re-posts them to the code4lib mailing list.
A complaint posted yesterday to the ~2,000 member, fairly active
code4lib mailing list: "It's all job postings!"
https://listserv.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1208&L=CODE4LIB&T=0&F=&S=&P=11434
For follow-up responses by other mailing list members, select "Next in
Topic" near the top-left of the screen. As Ed Summers points out a few
posts in, a "goal of jobs.code4lib.org is to help document the skills
and jobs that are in demand, to help educators teach their students
relevant skills so that they can find jobs."
