The choice of study for this systems librarian is made!
In early October I posted to LINT asking the question, “What exactly makes a systems librarian?“. In the post I asked all readers of LINT what they thought should be the course of study that I should take. I got a number of responses both in comments to the post, and via email. I took all of this on board, and together with the comments I got from people at my place of work I have made my decision. Next year I’m going to start a Master of Information Architecture degree. You can read all about my thoughts on my own blog.
I believe that a systems librarian is someone who can not only be a bridge between the “library” and “techie” worlds they are also an enabler of technology. It’s for this reason, with the systems that we manage becoming increasingly complex, that I chose the Master of Information Architecture degree.
Having made the application, and been accepted, I feel like I’ve stepped off a cliff and not sure if I’m going to fall or not because it’s been a long time since I did any major study. However I’m looking forward to it and look forward to chronicaling my journey on my blog and hopefully contributing insights to LINT as well.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to all those who contributed to my thinking about my course decision. It is greatly appreciated.
