Cataloger. I spend most of my time in witches town.
@EthanDF Totally! That makes sense. My very, very smart former boss was really thrown for a loop when OCLC retired institution records, on which our whole workflow was based.

@EthanDF Definitely a huge issue, though, is admin being unwilling to compensate catalogers for performing increasingly more technically -- and ethically -- complex work.
@EthanDF I'm teaching a linked data production workshop to an audience of catalogers this summer, so maybe I'll have a different perspective on TS reskilling after that.
@EthanDF I don't work in ac libs, but from the experience I do have, this sounds spot on to me. I do question, though, how much catalogers actually need to "reskill." It seems to me like a problem with management, not with [lack of] skilled labor.
Here's something I wrote yesterday! On working retail, the Ithaka S+R US Library Survey, and the problem with gutting tech services. https://aszingarellisweet.github.io/services-run-on-processes/
@rbrt1k You must not work in library tech then...
@cm_harlow Me too! Wish there were more Italian + Portuguese though.
Gonna keep this one for more "profesh" type things, though, I think.
Sorry everyone, I moved to witches.town. Same username.
