Librarians aren't just people who like books. They have specialized skills, and usually have a master's degree. Librarians in many school districts have a teaching credential in addition to a Masters. The idea of hiring a person as specialized as a librarian to manage iPads shows an extraordinary misunderstanding of librarians.
- prepend 4y agoMy kids have gone through about 9 schools. None of the librarians had masters degrees. The librarians in my city manage computers in the library and manage short term loaners of tablets and laptops. I work with librarians who have masters and phd and I don’t work in education. It’s an interesting job. I think I have enough of an understanding that it’s fair that a librarian could manage the iPad distribution for a school. It’s busy two times of the year and other times they could do more productive tasks. The current iPad wrangler is there all year and does nothing beyond hand out and collect iPads and coordinate the repairs (<5%/year).
