Katie Campbell , KUOW; What the puck? The Seattle Kraken have 2 staff librarians
"To say Gina Rome and Ashley Hufford have their dream job would be a little misleading — it wasn't a job they knew they could dream of before they had it.
They're librarians for the Seattle Kraken. More officially speaking, Rome is the team's digital asset librarian, and Hufford is the digital asset manager. Both have master's degrees in library sciences...
That's why some professional sports teams have hired professional librarians to manage their digital media. And it's not just hockey. Recent Super Bowl champions the Philadelphia Eagles have a digital asset librarian, too. That's because librarians have the skills to arrange, archive, and access the team's assets in a more methodical way than your average marketing specialist, media editor, or, yeah, a pile of hard drives.
They're not just managing the assets. They're also sorting through them to pick the best of the best for any given need."
