Librarians who can write code are doing great things for their libraries: increasing efficiency, improving service, offering innovative programming.

However, libraries don't always support their staff in learning these skills.

In this presentation, you'll hear:

  • Concrete examples of how librarians are using their software skills to build better futures
  • What libraries can do to help

Presenter: Andromeda Yelton is a self-employed librarian and software developer who's passionate about promoting coding, collaboration, and diversity in library technology.  Her honors include winning the 2010 LITA/Ex Libris Student Writing Award, being selected as an ALA Emerging Leader in 2011, and a 2013 Library Journal Mover & Shaker.
