Applause to Lesli. +100 Kate Deibel, PhD | Web Applications Specialist Information Technology Services University of Washington Libraries http://staff.washington.edu/deibel -- "When Thor shows up, it's always deus ex machina." -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lesli M Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2016 7:16 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Internet of Things I feel compelled to pipe up about the comment "Very sad that a librarian didn't know what it was." Librarians come in all flavors and varieties. Until I worked in a medical library, I had no idea what a systematic review was. I had no idea there was a variety of librarian called "clinical librarian." Do you know the hot new interest for law libraries? Medical libraries? Science libraries? The IoT is a specific area of interest. Just like every other special interest out there. Is it really justified to expect all librarians of all flavors and varieties to know this very tech-ish thing called IoT? Lesli
