They certainly are here at Miami U, although the actual Library Systems
department (including me) are not -- we handle the actual machines and the
software, but do very little/none of the interface design.  

I think it's important that the people who are designing and implementing
the actual interface to a library's web site be librarians, but as for us
fix-it grunts, it's probably immaterial.

Maybe the talk should be more along the lines of how to teach librarians
to talk to folks like me. :)
