Not so good. There is basically no library for undergraduates, and libraries are more willing to recruit computer students. However, it is good for graduate students to come out to some key university libraries and large public libraries.
1. Library science is promising. This is my personal opinion. First of all, social development is not limited to economic and political development, and cultural undertakings have always been an indispensable factor in social development. In my area, cultural undertakings have developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and government departments have paid more and more attention to the development of cultural undertakings. A large number of community libraries are being established, and universities are also expanding their libraries. 2 1 century is a well-known information age, and the software construction of libraries depends on modern technology, which urgently needs a large number of library professionals. The development of cultural undertakings, like economic and political development, is a long-term strategy of social development, which cannot be completed in one day or two. In this long-term development, the library industry expects more professionals.
I think salary is a very practical question that everyone will ask. In fact, every industry is the same, and the salary depends on the actual situation. It is not that there is a direct relationship between grades, such as regional differences, departmental differences and personal differences. Personally, if it is your favorite career, this aspect is not very important. Of course, everyone wants to live and live, and there is no reason not to discuss this issue.
3. In order to have a good development in library science, postgraduate entrance examination is necessary. Library science is an interdisciplinary subject, and the knowledge of all disciplines permeates library science. Only by learning each subject well can we develop the library cause better, but it is far from enough to rely on four years' study in the university for its development. Therefore, I personally think that it is necessary to take the postgraduate entrance examination in order to make a difference in the library industry.
Case playback
Like Xue Wei, Zhou Xiao was admitted because of his transfer, facing a major he never thought of-library science. When he was a freshman, Zhou Xiao was at a loss. He doesn't know what he can do after graduation. Is he a leisure librarian? Is it a lifetime in the library with a pile of books?
With many questions, Zhou Xiao began to study this major, and gradually realized that the talents trained by the contemporary library science major are not manual librarians, but new knowledge workers who use information technology to collect, process, develop and utilize knowledge and information. In his sophomore year, a professional teacher completely changed Zhou Xiao's attitude towards library science. The name of that course is Library Science, and the teacher who opened this course is actually the Minister of Academic Affairs! Zhou Xiao's impression of the "minister" should be a powerful leader, perhaps with a little bureaucratic flavor, but this "adult" who is both a "teacher" and a "minister" is brilliant, elegant and friendly. To Zhou Xiao's surprise, this teacher has been determined to engage in library science research since high school, from undergraduate to doctoral. Although he did administrative work by mistake, he never gave up academic research.
For a long time, Zhou Xiao thought that library work was a "hopeless" job, but now his idea has been completely subverted, not because the teacher finally became a minister, but because he saw a book lover's obsession and persistence with the teacher and the far-reaching significance of library cause to society.
Not long after Zhou Xiao devoted himself to professional study, he found that library science had stripped off its boring shell and actually had a different world. When he graduated, Zhou Xiao was pleasantly surprised to find that the employment of library science was not as narrow as he first imagined. In addition to the most suitable library, many publishing houses and book companies also welcome graduates of this major. Finally, Zhou Xiao declined the publishing job of a Beijing publishing house, and with her excellent professional achievements and teacher's recommendation, she successfully entered the library of the National University of Singapore, and became the envy of many so-called hot graduates.
Cold storage analysis
The biggest reason why the library has been put into the "cold palace" is that the fast-food life in this society has made people's hearts more and more impetuous, and it seems that there are fewer and fewer young people who can study with peace of mind, let alone specialized library science. For those students who don't want to be quiet and like to be busy, library science may not be suitable, but for those students who have special feelings for books and love book work, library major may be a good choice.
Dispel the dark clouds and see the sun
Perhaps the library always reminds people of the words "willing to be lonely" and "sitting on the bench", thinking that this is an industry with boring content and dim prospects. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Although the main employment fields of library science are concentrated in libraries, reference rooms and other departments at all levels, with the development of the industry, libraries, as an important way for the public to obtain knowledge and information, have been paid more and more attention, and the construction of libraries will be further strengthened. In addition, due to the influence of informatization, the traditional functions of the library have been further strengthened, and there has also been a trend of cross-development with other disciplines. Various emerging network channels have replaced some traditional services of the library, and the library has absorbed new technologies and expanded the scope of services. As far as the industry is concerned, the library cause has attracted the attention of all levels of departments, and the library informatization projects at all levels under construction in China represent the development direction of public library system in China.
With the coming of 2 1 century, the development of libraries will be digital and popular, and libraries will become a part of people's lives. After graduation, students engage in books and archives-related work, and their employment prospects are actually very broad, which can be divided into: information consultants-helping people find information and solve problems; Book publishing editor-engaged in book editing in publishing houses; Librarians and archivists-manage the materials of the library or personnel department and archives department; Chief Information Officer (CIO)-the director of information resources in the company, who provides all kinds of management information and assists decision-making to the general manager.
