This recent spate of message leads me to wonder: How many folks here who "code for libraries" have a library science degree/background, vs. folks who come from other backgrounds? What about folks who end up in technology management/direction positions for libraries? Personally: Computer scientist and systems engineer, did some early Internet-in-public library deployments, got to write a book about it. Not actively doing library related work at the moment.
