Congratulations on crafting your blog. I belive many librarians are drafted to be systems librarians. Your blog should be very helpful to them, and to the rest of us who what to be included in the conversation.
The only issue I have found is finding a niche' you have no time to perfect your skills this is the down side. - Jean
I long to hear from someone else. What does your job entail as a "Systems Librarian"? What is your niche? How often does your job assignments change?
My job entails managing the systems staff, expending the annual lan expenditure budget along with other budgets, researching software/equipment, collection development, chairing and participating in a number of library committees, I am a member of quite a few listserves, etc,. to name a few of my duties. I call myself a general practitioner. My assignments change momentarily-no set schedules.
