As libraries moved to (expensive and often unreliable) SaaS solutions from large commercial vendors, they had less and less work for embedded systems librarians. Now many find themselves unequipped to face pressing information issues in digital spaces. t.co/vheVAiZJCDPermalink On Internet Archive

I moved into first IT and now systems development on the Copim project because systems librarianship has been so narrowed to liaising with your vendor that it's sucked all the fun and experimentation out of the area.On Internet Archive

Certainly in the UK most library services are too risk-averse to even experiment around the edges of their LMS. Like, there is fun stuff to do around discovery, integration with e.g. Wikidata, working with publishers but there's neither staff nor political will to do any of it.Permalink On Internet Archive
