Comments on: The Gender Issue Again http://www.librarywebchic.net/wordpress/2006/07/27/the-gender-issue-again/ Resources for librarians who are interested in the application of web design and technologies in libraries Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:55:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: syslib http://www.librarywebchic.net/wordpress/2006/07/27/the-gender-issue-again/comment-page-1/#comment-9715 syslib Fri, 04 Aug 2006 16:37:16 +0000 http://www.librarywebchic.net/wordpress/2006/07/27/the-gender-issue-again/#comment-9715 I have met quite a few people in systems support (public libraries) that are women and at least do some systems librarianship. It is not surprising to me that fewer women are into computer systems than men, just look at any graduate school that has LS and IS and you will see the breakdown begins long before the job starts. Until recently I was the only male on our entire library staff of 16 people. This was the first time I have ever been the only male in a work enviro and it is a a strange feeling indeed, so perhaps they are more gender issues lurking around in libraries than just the one you have highlighted.
