This research study explores technology-related course offerings in
ALA-accredited library and information science (LIS) graduate programs in
North America. These data are juxtaposed against a text analysis of several
thousand LIS-specific technology job listings from the Code4lib jobs
website. Starting in 2003, as a popular library technology mailing list,
Code4lib has since expanded to an annual conference in the United States
and a job-posting website. The study found that database and web
design/development topics continued to dominate course offerings with
diverse sub-topics covered. Strong growth was noted in the area of user
experience but a lack of related jobs for librar-ians was identified.
Analysis of the job listings revealed common technology-centric librarian
and non-librarian job titles, as well as frequently correlated requirements
for technology skillsets relating to the popular foci of web
design/development and meta-data. Finally, this study presents a series of
suggestions for LIS educators in order that they continue to keep
curriculum aligned with current technology employment requirements.


It's nice to see secondary use of all the job posts we've been collecting!
(and thanks Ed, who's acknowledge in the paper, for sharing the data to
make this happen.)
