Hiring LibrariansHiring Librarians Podcast S02b E13: Talkin Union with Jaime Taylor
We’re back!
After an unintentionally long break, we’re back. Let’s consider this Season 2b.
This episode my guest is Jaime Taylor. Jaime is a contributing person-who-hires-library-workers on the Further Questions feature here on Hiring Librarians (which returns tomorrow), the Discovery & Resource Management Systems Coordinator at the W.E.B. Du Bois Library, University of Massachusetts, a proud union member, AND a coordinator of library staff working in THREE different unions. On this episode of the hiring librarians podcast, we’re talking about unions, hiring, getting hired, and what exactly systems librarians do anyway. I hope you enjoy and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic.
