Staff who code can...
• save you money
• deliver better service
• build the kinds of services they want to deliver
...there’s a catch
where I’m coming from
Examples
“Do you have any Dora
books?”
“The code rescued a rather expensive and unpopular project.”
Matt WeaverWestlake Porter Public Library
Data dashboard
“It enabled us to gather metrics data in 3 seconds where it used to take about an hour and a half.”
John BlybergDarien Public Library
Open source software (and hardware!)
Staff workflow
“...as my department’s then-only regular user of OML scripts, I had several times the cataloging productivity of any other cataloger in that department, even while spending a smaller percentage of my time on cataloging.”
Carrie PrestonOhio University Libraries
Before code:50-100 minutes per week
After code:2 minutes per week
Time saved:1-2 person-weeks per year
