Hiring Librarians

[Mark Wilcox]

Here at the University of North Texas we're rapidly trying to 
integrate the Internet into as many classes (as well as Internet 
specific classes) too.
Myself I'm 3 months from finishing and I'm already a webmaster 
(running 3 servers) comfortable in HTML, CGI, Java, etc. I'm local 
guru but even with many schools trying to teach this stuff, the 
skills are still to slow develop. 

Most LIS facutly & students are not strong in their computer 
background (very few of us CS guys come in). That will change though 
as the 'net progresses.

And for us who know this stuff really well, we're not sure if we want 
to go straight into a library. At the moment I'd prefer I-net 
consulting and designing. I think I'd be more useful doing that.
