Dear Code4Libbers, We have a new developer starting soon that’s coming from industry with no experience in libraries. We're interested in hearing about any strategies or training methods you’ve found successful in introducing developers from other areas to the quirkiness of library tech – things like MARC, proxy servers, Z39.50, catalogue knowledgebases, e-resources access, etc. Do you have any successes or advice to share? For those of you in academic libraries, we also are interested in strategies for getting someone new oriented to the academic environment. Thanks so much!
