I think they represent the library community more than the dev community and are a bit stubborn to use the terms familiar to us (IMO).

I mean, why wouldn't librarians be stubborn with respect to jargon? The intended audience clearly isn't Hacker News and the terms of the trade predate the tech community by decades in many cases- it doesn't make sense to just throw terminology to the wind.
It'd be like if a bunch of Frenchmen suddenly invaded England and forced them to speak French, even though English was perfectly sufficient for communication already.
Oh wait...
