@j_w_baker Why Library Carpentry?
@j_w_baker This is a decisive time for libraries. In the changing social and technological environment, libraries must adapt to fulfill their missions and satisfy their users. Library technology is acutely involved in this adaptation. Digital services, content and tools have become a part of nearly every aspect of library operations. The "digital library" is here–if you work in a library, you probably work in a digital library. Rochkind, Jonathan. ‘Editorial Introduction — Issue 1’. The Code4Lib Journal, no. 1 (17 December 2007). http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/39.
@j_w_baker Many library coders spend a significant amount of time trying to cultivate buy-in, educate their colleagues about technology, or work against siloed organizational structures as they produce inherently cross-departmental work. Yelton, Andromeda. ‘Coding for Librarians: Learning by Example’. Library Technology Reports 51, no. 3 (April 2015). doi:10.5860/ltr.51n3. pp. 22.

@j_w_baker librarians are acquiring new skills in metadata creation and manipulation; and, in this ever changing environment, vendors of library management and discovery systems are under pressure to evolve their offer cilip.org.uk/cataloguing-indexing-group/events/cig-conference-2016
@j_w_baker Library Carpentry today Get involved Would learning Git enable you to work better with developers whose labour supports the presentation and reuse of your metadata?
