It is, but this is not a new problem. Most librarians' understanding
of the catalog (i.e. their primary access mechanism) is nothing to
write home about. To anyone looking to pick up the skills they need,
they are far better just getting involved in projects that interest
them than hoping they'll learn from a program.
