Just tell me what I need to know

Some different ideas about what librarians need to know about technology:

• Library Revolution’s “Librarians & Technology: Minimum Competencies“
• David Lee King’s”Basic Competencies Of A 2.0 Librarian” & “Basic Competencies Of A 2.0 Librarian, Take 2“
• The Shifted Librarian’s “20 Technology Skills Every Librarian Should Have“, written in 2005, but seems to hold up well

There is also a webinar on 25 July, 11:00am (furiously does the maths to figure out what that translates to for Melbourne players) about core competencies for library staff.
