No full textTranscript, 95 pp. Audio file available at http://purl.umn.edu/94955Drake, founder of Data Card Corporation, discusses his career from his employment with Engineering Research Associates (ERA) to his work with Data Card. He remembers his employment with ERA from 1947 to 1952 and his growing frustration with the firm after it was sold to Remington Rand in 1952. He credits James Rand with considerable vision for business applications of computers, but criticizes Remington-Rand's management for failing to coordinate the activities of ERA and an earlier acquisition, the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Company. He also relates the circumstances surrounding the formation of Control Data Corporation.Drake, Willis K.. (1983). Oral history interview with Willis K. Drake.

The aim of this study was to determine how well library and information science (LIS) programs prepare graduate students for careers in systems librarianship. This study focused on systems librarian positions in academic libraries in the United States. Thirty systems librarian position descriptions were retrieved over a 40-month period from virtual job boards and email lists. The author performed a keyword analysis of terms from these position descriptions and compared them to keywords in course catalogs from 20 prominent, accredited LIS programs. These terms were categorized and assessed to determine the degree of similarity between the position descriptions and LIS course offerings and identify areas of potential development in LIS schools. In the majority of categories (27 out of 35), LIS schools clearly met or exceeded the coverage level found in position descriptions, but in the eight remaining cases, the LIS schools overall failed to demonstrate coverage of the topics in their course catalogs. LIS educators are encouraged to build these topics into their curricular offerings to better prepare systems librarians and any technologically savvy librarians for their professional careers
