[OPLINLIST] Opinions and experiences wanted: Hiring a library tech

[Laura Solomon]

Hello all--I think I've posted this before (at least to the OPLINTECH listserv), but I would love to get some more thoughts, especially from library administrators (the existing techs in Ohio's public libraries have already been very helpful!). Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom you can provide--Laura Solomon

Subject: Opinions and experiences wanted: Hiring a library tech 

Hello all, 

I am interested in finding out more about how libraries go about hiring technology staff. I'm looking for any/all of the following : 


    * Opinions about what makes a good/bad tech hire 
    * Issues you have run into when hiring a tech 
    * Any procedural changes you have made because of a particular hire or experience 
    * Stories, both bad AND good, about your experiences working with tech staff 
    * Any advice, from either the tech or non-tech perspectives, that you would give to someone hiring a library tech. 

You can respond to either/both the OPLINLIST and OPLINTECH listservs, or to me directly if you'd prefer not to send to a group. All names and information will remain confidential; please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide me! 

Laura
