Very good. Lots of info on the different products used in finishing and the receipes for existing finishes are very instructive. A good investment.
This book covers a lot of ground. I wish it would also cover polyurethane too
excellent purchase . I liked your products.
Just before Christmas my 13 yr old grandson emailed me and asked if I would help him finish the electric guitar he was building for his 8th grade class project. (I mess with different paint mediums and have some airbrush experience but have never finished or painted a guitar.) He wanted to put a Sunburst finish on it and use lacquer. So I started doing some homework and found Stewmac. I ordered this book as well as the color, lacquer, sealer and thinner. Today we finished Step 8 and it is beautiful. My grandson is really happy with the result. The book had EVERYTHING I needed to help him get the job done. Now we just have to shot it with clearcoats and polish. Easy peasy!!! Money well spent.
I'm new to finishing, and really like the introduction to the foundations that this book illustrates. I especially like the explanations about the characteristics of the materials involved. Hats off to the authors of this great teaching text!
I have a few wood finishing books. All of which are great but none better address the needs of guitar finishers better than this one. Included are recipies to recreate classic Fender, Gibson and Martin finishes! A must have for any shop.
Great book, The information is laid out in a logical, chronological, easy-to-follow format so that an intelligent non-luthier can be successful. I am refinishing a Gibson EB-L bass guitar that I was originally going to pay a pro to do. Not only will this save some money, but it should be a lot of fun as well.
A very thorough book, easy for an amateur like me to understand. I found a lot of reasons why my previous finishing attempts turned out so bad. I have wasted so much time and money through my own trial and error, I wish I'd bought this book years ago!
Great book ,very pleased with the delivery very quick ,to Scotland uk ,just used info on this jagstang build and I'm very happy with the results ,finished it with nitro lacquer got to leave it cure for a few weeks until I can assemble ,I'm no professional just a hobbyist ,and more than pleased with the detailed instructions in the book thank very much
If you make or repair guitars... Buy This Book! I've made about 100 guitars and sprayed over 200 gallons of finish in my day. I STILL reach for this book when I need answers. I couldn't pull off such great sunbursts without it! Big Thanks to Dan and Don for putting this one together.

text: NUMBER 39. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. OCTOBER 1892. ENTERED AT ATLANTA, GA.] CHARTERED 1867. OPENED 1869. [AS SECOND CLASS MATTER Rev. horace Bumstead, D. D., President. Rev. John H. Hincks, A. B., Dean. Miss Carrie W. Hunt, Missionary Secretary. Number of Students, 600. Officers and Teachers, 29. Four Large Brick Buildings. Seventy Acres of Land. Location One Mile from the Centre of Atlanta, Ga. This is a Christian Institution, unsectarian in its management and influence, wholly controlled by an independent Board of Trustees, and receiving no aid from city, state, or national governments, or benevolent society. While chartered for " the Christian education of youth," and pledged to receive all students of either sex without regard to "race or color, its work is at present almost wholly confined to the sons and daughters of the Freedmen. The present object of the work is the training of an intelligent and efficient body of teachers and leaders for the emancipated population of the South. This training aims to develop power in head, heart, and hand. About 20 students are in the College Course, 50 in the College Preparatory, 80 in the Normal, 360 in the Grammar, and 90 in the Primary, the latter serving as a model or practice school for the Normal students. Industrial training is given to the boys in carpentry, black-smithing, mechanical drawing, printing, and farming; and to the girls in cooking, sewing, dressmaking, printing, nursing the sick, and general household science. All students pay from one to two dollars a month tuition — the majority, a dollar and a half. These charges fall far short of meeting the actual cost of the instruction. Boarding students pay ten dollars a month for their board, receiving for this sum their room, which is furnished, heated, and lighted, together with their food and washing. Boarding students also give an hour of productive labor every day to the Institution, and thus, with cash and labor, meet almost the entire cost of their board. Tuition scholarships of $40 annually are needed for all students, to meet the actual cost of instruction in excess of the nominal tuition fees paid by the students. These scholarships do not aid the student to pay his charges to the Institution, but they enable the Institution to make the charges low enough for the majority of the students to pay. Tuition scholarships do for the students of Atlanta University what endowment funds do for the students in other institutions : — they bring an education within the reach of the people. An endowment fund of $500,000 would provide for the present work so as to render tuition scholarships unnecessary ; and such an endowment is earnestly solicited. At present the University has only about $33,000 of invested funds, mostly for special objects. An income of at least $25,000 annually is needed from tuition scholarships or general subscriptions, to maintain the present unendowed work. Without such income, providing $40 for each of 600 students, the present work could not go on. Besides the tuition scholarships of $40 each, which are specially solicited, general donations of any amount from one dollar to five hundred dollars and upwards are also earnestly asked for, to help make up the needed income of $25,000. Legacies of any amounts for endowment or current ex-pences are greatly desired. Gifts may be sent at any time in the form of checks, money orders, or registered letters, to the undersigned, and will receive prompt acknowledgment. Horace Bumstead, President, Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga. N. B. Particular attention is invited to the more detailed information on the following pages.

Sewing Organizers:
Sewing Organizer: Organizing our sewing area helps the creative process flow. Less time is spent looking for what you need and more time is spent doing what we all love.
If you do hand work and like to take some along with you or even if you just take it from your sewing room to the living room a wallet organizer helps keep things together. Joining your local quild for a sewing day can be much easier if you have a take-along organizer.
Sayings Organizer is a wall hanging for your tools. Make one for your sewing room and one for your family room to hang next to your favorite spot for hand work. Most of us don't worry about dust collecting on our sewing machine but if you do have to abandon it for a few days there's a pattern for a cute Sewing Machine Cover.
Have you ever used a Scrap Sack or a Snips & Pin Catcher? Once you've made one and used it you'll wonder how you ever managed to do without. The sand in the pincushion portion keeps your pins sharp and weights the item so it can hang off the edge of your sewing machine table right where you need it. Toss your loose threads in the "cup" and they won't be all over the floor or getting tangled with your working thread.
Thread Library is an awesome way to store your thread. You can see it all at a glance and access it easily. No more shuffling through a box of spools (with long thread tails everywhere) or lifting spools to see the color. And it was designed by Joan Hawley of Lazy Girl Designs so you know its easy to put together.

Martha Stewart Crafts™ Silkscreened Fern Hurricanes
Material List
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Adhesive Silkscreen – Ferns
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Gloss Opaque Glass Paint – Spring Pasture
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Metallic Opaque Glass Paint – Yellow Gold
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Frost Translucent Glass Paint – Root Beer Float
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Glass Paint Stenciling Tools and/or Glass Squeegee Set
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Glass Patterning Tape
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Glass Spray Paint Kit
- Hurricane Glass, Small
- Hurricane Glass, Large
Project Instructions
Tall Hurricane
First, frost the base of the hurricane following general Glass Spray Paint Kit instructions. Root Beer Float was used for this step. Using the squeegee and/or pouncer, follow general Glass Adhesive Silkscreen instructions below. Spring Pasture was used for the fern design.
Short Hurricane
First, frost the base of the hurricane following general Glass Spray Paint Kit instructions. Root Beer Float was used for this step. Using the squeegee and/or pouncer, follow general Glass Adhesive Silkscreen instructions below. Spring Pasture and Yellow Gold were used for the fern design.
Glass Spray Paint Kit Instructions
Step 1 Mix equal parts Martha Stewart Crafts™ glass paint and medium in the included container, but do not fill above shoulder line. Add spray medium first for easier mixing. Shake thoroughly. (Note: Liquid Fill Transparent paints can be used in sprayer without adding the mixing medium.)
Step 2 Attach plastic tube to sprayer, then attach sprayer to bottle. Do not shake.
Step 3 Align red dot on spray button with V-shaped notch on base of the sprayer. Practice on scrap paper before spraying your project. Hold bottle upright 6" to 10" from surface. Never tilt more than 45°. Begin at the top and gently spray back and forth, overlapping each stroke for even coverage. To avoid drips, start spraying while in motion and release button while still in motion.
Step 4 Let dry and apply two more coats as desired. Eliminate clogs and sputtering by holding your finger over the red dot and pressing button for one second.
Step 5 Immediately after use, remove sprayer from the bottle. Cap and store the unused liquid. Remove plastic tube and rinse under running water. Reattach tube and place in cup of water. Spray away from away from you until water runs clear.
TIP: If using Martha Stewart Crafts™ Fine Glitter paint, remove small filter at bottom of plastic tube.
General Glass Adhesive Silkscreen Instructions
Step 1 Wash surface in warm soapy water. Allow to dry. Moisten a paper towel with rubbing alcohol and wipe entire surface to remove any residue.
Step 2 Create a unique pattern by repeating a silkscreen over an area. Arrange designs in a grid for a structured look, or apply randomly for a playful, organic effect. Make sure to plan and measure both the silkscreen and the surface. To get an idea of what it will look like before painting, copy and print the design on paper first and tape it to your surface. Finalize your design and mark the placement with a wax pencil. For a look that's cohesive and natural, limit your palette to one, two, or three colors. Use varying shades of one color, complementary colors or colors in the same family (warm tones, cool tones, rich tones, pastels, etc.).
Step 3 Cut out desired design elements. Remove the backing from the silkscreen and set aside to later store the silkscreen. Position the silkscreen on the surface, smoothing to eliminate any wrinkles. Use a squeegee or pouncer to apply paint:
The squeegee is ideal for flat surfaces or large spaces. Apply a line of paint along one edge of the silkscreen. Place the squeegee above the line of paint and pull it down into the design area with light, even pressure. Use a smooth, fluid motion to spread the paint. Continue spreading until the paint fills the entire design area.
The pouncer is ideal for curved or intricate areas and small surfaces. Pour a small amount of paint onto your palette. Load the paint sparingly on a pouncer, dab off excess, and onto silkscreen. Apply second coat if necessary.
Step 4 While paint is still wet, carefully peel off the silkscreen. Wash and completely dry silkscreens before reusing. Let painted designs dry for 30 minutes before applying another silkscreen. Allow project to dry completely.
Step 5 All painted glass projects should be cured to increase the paint's durability. Use either of the following techniques:
Bake to Cure – Place dry painted glassware into cool oven. Set oven to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes. Glass must heat gradually with the oven to avoid breakage. Do not place glass in a hot oven. After 30 minutes, turn off the oven. Allow glass to cool completely in oven. Wait 72 hours before using.
Air Cure – Air dry completed projects for 21 days before using.
NOTE: Use only the Air Cure technique for projects decorated with Glitter Glass paints.
Step 6 Rinse silkscreens and tools immediately after use to remove excess paint. Do not allow paint to dry on silkscreen.

Breakfast: We pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day, with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea and good filter coffee, bread freshly baked in our chalets each morning, cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days a week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served.

Advocacy in Library School
23/03/2011 § 12 Comments
Dictionary.com defines advocacy as "the act of pleading for, supporting, or recommending; active espousal." I know I heard and used this term before I began library school but I honestly think my awareness of it has increased tenfold in the last two years of my program.
You may think that it is because I'm learning all about advocacy and how to be an advocate for libraries and the profession in my courses. And sure, you would be partially correct. I've had a few professors mention budget cuts to libraries and what it means for the profession and the likelihood of us finding jobs when we are done with the program. But as advocacy seems to be at the forefront of the library profession these days. ALA even has an Advocacy University section on its website. And the library blogosphere always seems to be talking about it (see Andy Woodworth's blog for some fantastic posts on the issue). However, I often feel that my LIS education has left me lacking the skills to take on real-life advocacy; both DURING my degree as well as when I'm finished. But is this actually something that should be taught? How to advocate? Are those skills that should be integrated into a graduate program? And beyond that – what role should library school students play in advocacy efforts that are going on in the area?
This last question is one I've thought about a great deal during the last year. Some of you may have heard about the budget concerns in Boston that were threatening to close several branches of the Boston Public Library last year. [To find out more you can check out the web site that was created by concerned patrons of the library.] I feel like whenever issues like this arise, the more people helping out and raising voices, the better. Yes? And my second assumption was that library school students who live in the very same city as these branches and who are going into the library profession would want to be involved in the process that was going on right in front of them. This is where I found myself kind of disappointed. My fellow students did not seem to want to be engaged as I thought they would. Now don't get me wrong, there were several students who were all over what was going on and were involved and engaged. And I also realize that grad students have school, work, families, and loads of other commitments. But I saw this as kind of a perfect opportunity to not only get involved in the community but get involved with reaching out to local librarians and patrons; despite which type of librarianship you were studying. On the other side of it all, I thought that perhaps my professors would encourage us to get involved. And this was not 100% the case either. Again, there were definitely professors who were involved but I would have really liked to have seen the program as a whole become more engaged in what was going on in the library community right at our doorstep. I was worried that, as the library school community, were guilty of thinking "that is someone else's issue." But maybe I was asking too much of a graduate program?
My fellow hacklibschool editors have had some of their own experiences with advocacy in their communities. Britt Foster spent a tremendous amount of her time advocating for Measure L in LA and wrote a fantastic post about what it means to be an activist librarian along with her most recent post on Activism and Advocacy. And Heidi Kittleson, in her last days of her grad program, has been advocating for the iSchool, at the University of Washington, as its funding has been threatened. She wrote about the situation in a recent Hack Library School post. Also, check out the great post on Lyndsey Runyan's blog about the iSchool situation.
So how does advocacy fit into the library school program? Should it fit in? Who is responsible for learning about it? What is the role of professors and administrators? Have you been involved in advocacy efforts in your community? In libraries?
§ 12 Responses to Advocacy in Library School
I would agree with the previous poster. If you don't know how to advocate, you will find yourself out of a job. Or there won't even be a job to begin with. At the public level, libraries are politically the easiest and first to get cut in terms of city, state and federal funding. In academic libraries or special collections, if you're not doing dynamic work and letting the higher-ups know about it, they will cut your program or reduce your staff. No matter what kind of repository you work in, it is of the utmost importance to let others know of your contributions and value, so they understand why its important that you continue doing what you're doing.
And on the flip side, the very nature of what we do provide access to information is an activism in and of itself. If you are passionate about providing this access to others, then you will advocate for their right to have the information and the right to provide it. Libraries and advocacy go hand in hand.
Advocacy definitely needs a better look. ALA's resources are mediocre at best, and are largely talking points. Case studies need to be made about successful library advocacy. We need to know what works and why. Integrating it into a library education is the first step in generating the research and resources needed to help us protect our institutions.
I have to admit…I don't know if it should be taught in library school. Don't get me wrong – I think advocacy is important, definitely, and essential for libraries nowadays, but I'm not sure if it's something that could be taught. Would there be a class on how to stand up for the library? I think it's something you do because you want to. I didn't have to take a class to know to sign the petition against Florida's library budget cuts. I think it's something people get involved with when they want to. Perhaps teachers could mention things going on, and students can always research ways to stand up for the library system, but ultimately I don't think it's something a full class could focus on.
Just my opinion!
I think that advocacy as it fits in with a larger communications perspective is definitely a course that can stand on its own within MLIS programs today/
Community organizers go through extensive trainings on advocacy tools, grassroots strategies and best practices, so why not librarians too? I come from a nonprofit public relations background and see so many incredible opportunities for MLIS programs to integrate more directed, targeted communications studies into the curriculum – communications with our patrons, our colleagues, our boards, our municipal and state governments, etc. are all fundamental parts of our everyday responsibilities and interactions. I feel there's definitely a place, and would encourage further development of it, within our library school programs.
[...] out on the frontlines to push for more support from the community. We've written about advocacy and being a locally grown advocate before, so this concept isn't really new to us or our readers. [...]

Dolce & Gabbana
2010 March 1
Runway Reviews: Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Missoni
Getty Images View Gallery
(MILAN) Dolce & Gabbana
Love is in the air. Set to the Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman rendition of "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana showed a very commercial collection--and that's a good thing. It began with a series of nipped black jackets and coats, and as footage from the atelier played in the message was clear: we are tailors, and we do this stuff best. There was no flash--well, very little of it---but instead, polka-dot silk chiffon skirts, blouses, and the occasional lean dress. And what, no gowns? The fashion world felt robbed of one of the week's predictable highlights. But instead, the models all stormed the runway in silk briefs and black jackets. Practicality is all.
Roberto Cavalli
Cavalli is an infectious designer, one of Milan's most-imitated and a source of much of the city's fashion energy. He's also a larger-than-life personality whose ability to move fragrances and even drinks at his club in Dubai make other "lifestyle" designers look like amateurs. His joie de vivre is clearly alive and well for Fall, albeit with a more neutral color palette (black, beige, grey, and nude) and an urban-warrior silhouette. Brocade jackets and pants provided a touch of baroque to the drop-crotch leopard-print chiffon pants and ultra-narrow transparent styles. Scores of toss-on fur vests and jackets staved off any hint of glitz, as did wrap-around scarves finished with fur bits. But it was Cavalli's take on loose-fit goddess gowns, backless and made from rough-pleated silk, that were easiest to love, especially the last look in a splendid shade of blush, with a racerback and scores of pieced-on lace. Plenty of sense there, and even more sensibility.
Whomever has dared to doubt that knitwear could be rendered in so many shapes, so many colors, and so many textures needs to take a long, hard look at the chronically inventive house of Missoni. The brand's Fall collection was a mismash of all of the above, and the effect was great fun. With blanket dressing as a focal point, Missoni was especially strong in outerwear, with wraparound jackets left open in the back and fastened with a giant safety pin. Skirts, for the most part, were full and swingy, while a few cropped, taut turtlenecks bared eqally taut navels. Multicolored crochet dresses played against toggle sweaters in teal and chestnut and bubblegum pink and cream. Shades of lipstick red, burnt orange, marigold, and lime also made cameo appearances. The strongest fur pieces were pieced-together styles in multicolor chevron stripes--perfect for any Saturday afternoon, whether that means walking around the city, lounging in Litchfield or escaping to exotica. Angela Missoni took her runway bow along with a half-dozen family members, many (if not all) of whom are appearing in current ad campaigns. Happily, this collection attested to that idea by appealing to different generations, tastes, and budgets. (Confidential to Missoni newbies: Start with the leggings.)

Librarian By Name, Geek By Nature
11/07/2012 § 50 Comments
My cohort, we talk. After our weekend intensive classes, we often go out roaming in search of a likely bar, and when we find one, we sit, we drink, and we talk. And since we've generally just spent 12 hours in class together, we usually end up talking about library school.
This month marks the halfway point through our MLS program, and by now we've begun to form some strong opinions on the subject: what's working, what's not, what we'd change if we could. And a few of us began to play with this question: if you could design your own MLS program from scratch, what features would you definitely include? Especially those that are lacking from library education as it exists today — if you were establishing the program that would define library school for the next generation, what do you think would absolutely need to be a part of it?
Yeah, that was a bit of a can of worms.
There were as many answers as there were people in the conversation, and many of the responses were necessarily informed by the idiosyncrasies of our own MLS program. But I can tell you what my answer was:
In my fantasy library school, every MLS granted would require demonstrated proficiency in a hard technical skill. Coding, database admin, network admin, multimedia production, etc. — not just a little dabbling in web design or knowing how to secure a wifi network, but some serious skills. And I mean every MLS, from the archivist to the youth services librarian. From now on, "librarian" also implies "geek," and everybody's got to earn their badge. You may never use it, but just like high school algebra, you still gotta learn it.
But that needs to change. We talk at great length about how vital we are in this information age, but just our saying so isn't going to convince the rest of the world. We have to be able to back up our words with concrete action, and to do that, we need to know that we collectively possess the skills necessary to implement our ideas without relying on others to do our geek work for us. What would librarianship look like if we all understood how our ILS is constructed, and how to build and adapt it to our library's specific needs?Or if we all could be actively involved in building public wifi networks in our cities and towns? Or if we all felt confident enough with technology to start hackerspaces in our communities? And what better time to start learning those skills, if we haven't already, than in library school? Some schools already offer higher-level technology instruction, but many — like mine — still don't.
This is hard stuff for a lot of us, hard to imagine and harder still to do. But I think these are the sorts of skill that are becoming imperative for us as librarians to possess, and that without them we risk permanent irrelevance. So my hypothetical dream library school would be teaching them from the first term as a required course, and not calling any student "librarian" without them.
But that's just me. Do you think we need a more rigorous technology requirement for the MLS? What would you do with your perfect library school? Leave a comment!
§ 50 Responses to Librarian By Name, Geek By Nature
Well said, Amy! I am woefully lacking in that area and wish I was more up on all the skills you mentioned.
I wish you designed my MLS program! I definitely agree with having solid tech knowledge and experience. I'm frustrated by the lack of tech-focused classes in my program, and I don't have enough time or money to take classes in the Computer Science dept. Our Information Technology class was mostly math plus a little HTML and CSS hand coding. My own knowledge is pretty basic, but I'm always trying to improve.
You know what? Here's a thing. I constantly don't consider myself a coder. I mean, yeah, I played with some basic as a kid, and I took C++ in college and some SQL in library school, and I've taught myself the rudiments of perl and Python and jQuery here and there, and I wrote a lot of the front end and a bit of the back end of my company's site, but, I mean, I'm not a coder. Coders are…those people who know how to use all those technologies they mention that I don't know how to use, right? Coders are people like my husband, who's a software engineer who's programmed in more than 40 languages over the last 20 years? You know.
And you can hear as I say this how dumb this is. Here's the thing: we can always find people who make us feel inadequate as coders. Sometimes it's genuinely because they've forgotten more code than we're ever likely to know, but most of the time? They know things we don't because code is big. No one knows all of it. I got nothing if you wanna talk about Heroku or Blacklight or node.js…but sometimes people ask me about CSS and Python…
Maybe it doesn't mean we can't do this. Aren't already doing this.
Here's a great realization I had at Midwinter: yeah, there are parts of the dominant code culture that always want to, well, measure their penises, prove how much more they know than you. And that's a big reason I didn't major in CS (despite going to an engineering school during the dot-com boom). But libraryland isn't like that. In libraries, people — mirabile dictu! — appear to value me, not for how much I can prove, but for what I have to contribute.
So. You have something to contribute. Start there. Keep going.
I hope I'll see you in the LITA/ALCTS Library Code Year interest group (http://connect.ala.org/node/167971) or the #code4lib IRC channel (http://code4lib.org/irc/). Come on in. The water's fine.
If most or all Masters of Library (and Information) Science programs are going to do this, they're going to have to exercise more (meaning some) quality control on who they accept into said programs, because it's difficult to get people up to speed on coding, or other "high-level" skills in one or two years. I suspect most programs will not do this. So until then, there's codeyear; there's books that end with "Dummies;" there's you and your friends getting together in spare time, learning side by (perhaps virtual) side.
Good ideas here! I would hasten to add that there's a whole spectrum of IT skills that are applicable to librarianship and it would be a Good Thing to be cognizant of them — in my own example, if I went to the nearby library school now I would have a hard time of it as they apparently define "tech skills" as Microsoft Access and SQL Server; both techs I have never used and, more importantly, never *seen* used in any academic library I've worked at.
But there's a real danger of setting the bar too low in an effort to be inclusive, and I'm not sure how to fix that.
Hm. I'm actually a little skeptical about how much coding know-how is all that useful for most library positions. I am the front-end librarian in a big library, and I'm really one of two or three librarians who actually get to muck with the code. While many of my colleagues here came out of their i-school with some HTML/CSS familiarity, they're really hemmed in by all the different kinds of content frameworks we use – like libguides or wordpress or drupal. Is the kind of web code you need to know to edit content worth the cost of your college credits?
It's probably like learning a language that, in all honesty, you probably won't use if you're not a systems librarian. The coding environment changes soooo rapidly, too, that if you're not a super geek and doing this on the side or full-time in your position, you'll lose it anyway.
Whether or not you took some coding classes in library school definitely do not effect your relevancy or CURRENCY as a librarian Just knowing some code won't mean you're more employable as, say, an instructional librarian. You know?
Learn to code if coding is what you want to do. There are so many different flavors of librarianship that you should do what you're interested in and you'll be as relevant and current as you need to be.
Definitely food for thought. Not all librarians will need to do any kind of coding on the job – but all librarians need to be able to communicate with the folks who do that kind of thing, and to do that, it helps to be able to speak their language a bit and understand how those thought processes work. If nothing else, a little bit of familiarity means that you'll be able to submit better and more helpful problem reports to your IT department ("This page is throwing an SQL error" as opposed to "I don't know, there's some kind of error message?").
Two things I'd add to the MLS curriculum for sure: project management, and assessment (including, but definitely not limited to, usability testing). Those are crucial skills and they are skills many of us have had to learn on the job.
I don't think that every LIS student "needs" to be a coder or technology master. But "What would librarianship look like if we all understood how our ILS is constructed, and how to build and adapt it to our library's specific needs?" is a wonderful question. The LIS curriculum may not need to make every student into a db developer. But it should certainly provide a LIS student with an understanding of the back-end part of the tools the library uses everyday and depends on.
Achieving this doesn't require the curriculum overhaul. (Nor is it require a student becoming proficient in computer programming or the less soft and fuzzy kinds of technology.) But as soon as someone starts to think that this is "just as important as" one of those mandatory LIS classes such as cataloging or evaluation/assessment, the whole framework of the current LIS curriculum can become controversial. There is something to think about there.
Another thing to think about is how to create a culture and an environment where people can pursue these interests in programming/coding (plus what you call the less soft and fuzzy kinds of technology) and develop those skills in the context of libraries. Unfortunately, the LIS schools and the libraries as workplaces are both lacking in creating such a culture/environment. It is particularly sad to see how libraries are so failing to take advantage of the library staff who 'want to' learn and apply such technology often on their own time and at their own expenses, while libraries try to become more and more tech-savvy as an organization.
I wrote about this a while ago thinking that maybe it will help libraries see this irony and take some actions to change that. But instead, many comments that I received made me realize that this is a way more complicated topic than I thought it was. If you are interested, check out the comments in this post: http://www.bohyunkim.net/blog/archives/1099
Alright, alright, you've roped me in. I think you're getting at the heart of what this here bloggy blog was meant to be. Lets not talk about reform, or what could be, but lets reform and do something. I tell you what, if we had the skills to imagine, build, and maintain our own ILS, we'd be a hell of a lot less dependent on 3rd party vendors and could reinvest our shrinking budgets in developing resources that actually serve our communities specific needs, not those dictated to us by what the product options are at the time.
I remember having similar conversations with my "cohort" (which just happened to be the founding writers/editors of HackLibSchool) and we proceeded to write about it and get some attention. But… not much has changed. Administrators of Library Schools haven't listened. They're too busy to read blogs. So, if you really want to "design your own MLIS program from scratch," if that's a real priority for dissatisfied LIS students right now (aside from getting a job, and paying off student loans), you'll have to take the conversation to their house – ALISE.
I'm joining and plan to stir things up. Will report back.
[...] no longer in school, FYI) tackled the essential and perhaps unanswerable question of "Does LIS Education Need More Tech?" What they say in this post is nothing new; it's a question long debated in LIS education, [...]
I'm going to take a different tack here, and suggest that what LIS students need even more than coding courses are budget (especially related to grant-writing), public speaking, advocacy, and management skills.
Coding languages are changing constantly, and given the fact that most LIS students are paying for their degree as they go with loans or out of pocket (as opposed to getting a full ride with assistantships), I'm not sure the cost per credit for coding classes makes a lot of economic sense. That said, almost every librarian, even if s/he is not "in charge" of the budget, will have to understand how to speak to their boss/deans/boards/city council about money issues when necessary (even if it's just to write a memo justifying a purchase order). Since it looks like the "Why do you need libraries when we have Google?" trope is not dying out anytime soon, librarians NEED to be able to speak to the public in ways that demonstrate our continued relevance to society. I really wish library schools put a larger emphasis on learning how to speak with decision makers (legislators, deans, CFOs, donors, whatever), and also how to effectively manage employees. Librarianship is not going to cease being a people-oriented profession anytime soon, but we desperately need the people and money skills to fight for our continued survival and relevance in "the age of austerity."
In re tech skills going rapidly out of date:
It's true. They do. I think library school tech instruction thus needs to be more about concept than procedure — you needs to go through the procedures to understand the concepts, but also accept that the details are going to change. Part of being technologically competent is being able to roll with those changes.
Again about the software industry — it's expected that you'll program in languages you've never seen before. People can and do hire people at, e.g., a Python shop who've never programmed in Python before — they just figure, if you're generally competent at programming languages, you'll pick up the specifics of Python pretty fast.
And in my experience this is true; while there can be dramatic conceptual differences among programming languages, the ones in common use aren't that different. They're all going to have if conditions and for loops and lists and variables and so forth. It's more a matter of "ohhhh, today I'm using JavaScript so I'd better remember about all the parentheses and semicolons, and tomorrow when I'm using Python I gotta remember about the whitespace." You can always look up the specific syntactic differences if you need to.
So, yes. A library tech course about "here's how you do Javascript," only mildly useful. One about "here's how you code, and Javascript is the tool we happen to be using"? Much more realistic.
[...] Librarian by Name, Geek by Nature [...]
As someone on the tech-y/information science end of LIS, I really wish that LIS programs were more supportive of those of us who want to take heavy tech classes. In my program, we really have to go out of the department to learn anything other than a bit of XML, HTML, and database admin.
That said, I don't think that everyone in my LIS program needs to know how to program but they do need to be comfortable with technology and know how to give our patrons the tech they need. Even the smallest library in the middle of nowhere has to have technologically competent librarians because that library may be the only source of internet, etc. for some of its patrons.
While its important to understand and recognize the roots of librarianship in books and the card catalog, as a profession we can't ignore the fact that the future is digital. So I agree with the author of this post that perhaps we should push more LIS students into the tech courses.
I agree with Andromeda that when library schools teach technology topics, it should be aimed at learning concepts, not specific skills. Also, it's popular to suggest learning a programming language. However, the basic mechanics of IT are probably more important, like backups. It doesn't matter how flashy your discovery layer is if the backend database went poof and you have no backups (I know, it doesn't sound likely but I've heard of cases where libraries lost everything due to thinking they had backups only to discover they didn't).
If we want more tech skills in librarians, we should train them up earlier than grad school. We should tell our high school pages that if they want to be a librarian, they should consider an IT/CS degree in college. When I decided I wanted to become a librarian everyone, including several librarians, assumed I'd take English as a major in college. They were shocked when I told them I was a CS major.
Or, for existing staff, how about supplying tuition reimbursement if they get a computer-related degree. My district offers reimbursement for an MLS but maybe they should specifically offer reimbursement for computer-related degrees also.

Headache facts
What is a headache?
Headache is defined as a pain arising from the head or upper neck of the body. The pain originates from the tissues and structures that surround the brain because the brain itself has no nerves that give rise to the sensation of pain (pain fibers). The periosteum that surrounds bones; muscles that encase the skull, sinuses, eyes, and ears; and meninges that cover the surface of the brain and spinal cord, arteries, veins, and nerves, all can become inflamed or irritated to cause the pain of a headache. This pain may be a dull ache, sharp, throbbing, constant, mild, or intense.
