1. LIBRARIANSHIP AS A CAREER
Libraries are now universally recognized as important social institutions.
No community is considered complete without a library. The gradual spread
of the concept of democracy, the extension of education, the intensification
of research activities, and the rapid increase in production of recorded
knowledge, have led to the expansion of libraries and the development of
their services. A public library is an important element in the life of
acommunity; an academic library is an essential part of an educational
institution, school, college or university; a business or special library is
indispensable in government departments and large business and industrial
organizations. Librarianship is a growing field, which has by now attained
the status of a separate discipline in the universe of knowledge. It presents
challenges and interesting situations to library personnel. The management
of these libraries needs persons with good academic and professional
qualifications. Proficiency in one of the natural sciences, social sciences or
the humanities is helpful in the professional development of a librarian.
Library work is primarily a social service, and therefore, needs young men
and women with a sense of dedication and a spirit of service. Those
intending to enter the library profession should satisfy themselves that they
possess the necessary academic qualifications and the sense of vocation
that would enable them to work successfully as librarians. Librarianship as
a profession provides a variety of employment opportunities. In fact, it is
possible to choose the kind of library to suit ones interest and background.
Persons with a superior record and high qualifications can achieve high
positions. The salaries in college and university libraries are comparable to
those of teachers. Indeed, the salaries of special librarians are high.
