Code4lib 2016, March 7-10, Philadelphia, PA Jobs Analysis Code4lib jobs provides web platform for job search and posting: Jobs tagged and curated by volunteers Developed by Ed Summers (iSchool UMD) Source code available 4lib/shortimer 4lib/shortimer jobs.code4lib.org data is available under CC BY license Db dump included: Job titles Job descriptions Editor-assigned tags Analysis of jobs: Text mining (R with tm package) Plotting correlations (R graphics package) Term clustering (hclust in core stats package) 5

Code4lib 2016, March 7-10, Philadelphia, PA Job Titles 1006 job listings posted in 2015, including: 316 librarian positions 690 non-librarian positions 6 Cluster analysis of title terms using hclust

Code4lib 2016, March 7-10, Philadelphia, PA In Summary The areas of web design/development and digital collections (e.g. working with XML, metadata, archives, etc.) were well-aligned in frequency of course offerings and popularity of related job listings User experience courses (covering topics such as information architecture, human-computer interaction, usability, etc.) topped the list of topics offered across all programs, but there was not a corresponding level of library-related positions observed in this area This study and its predecessors indicated a general need to revisit incoming student technology requirements Open questions: How frequently are technology-related library positions filled by those with and without LIS graduate degrees? What concentrations/tracks are increasing in popularity across all programs? What are the skill differences between librarian and non-librarian titled technology positions? 14
