The qualities that a librarian should possess. The qualities that university librarians should have under the network environment.
1, professional ethics
With the in-depth development of China's reform and opening up, it has brought unprecedented vitality and vitality to the library industry, and many brand-new academic talents and pioneering talents have emerged in the library industry. However, in recent years, due to the change of people's values, people's traditional ideas have been impacted by new ideas and new cultures, which has greatly changed the traditional professional ethics, and made the professional ethics of librarians face severe challenges, resulting in some people not being able to treat library work correctly. It is very urgent and particularly important for librarians to resist temptation, stay away from poverty, give full play to their window role and improve their professional ethics.
Librarians should establish the idea of reader first and service first, and establish the concept of serving readers wholeheartedly, which is the fundamental purpose and starting point of librarian work. No matter under the traditional manual conditions or in the modern network information age, this service tenet cannot be changed. On the contrary, under the network environment, the concept of librarians serving them wholeheartedly should be further strengthened.
2. Librarians should have a strong sense of innovation.
Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress, the eternal motive force for a country's prosperity and development, and the important motive force for the sustainable development of China's book management. Therefore, as the main body of library management, librarians must get rid of outdated consciousness and behavior, establish innovative ideas and implement innovative actions, provide internal motivation for the development of library management in China, and better adapt to the development of the network era.
3. Librarians should have strong comprehensive application ability of modern information technology.
Modern information technology not only refers to network communication technology, but also has been applied to all aspects of library management. Modern information technology is a sharp weapon, carrier and important means for librarians to collect, sort out, spread and develop information resources. Librarians' comprehensive application ability of information technology directly affects the quality of their information services.
4. Strive to create the necessary human environment.
Although network technology has brought great convenience to book management, with the rapid development of network technology, it has greatly changed the traditional service of the library. With the support of network technology, the service level of library has been pushed to a new level, and the people-oriented service concept should be more obvious.
With the rapid development of network technology, human civilization has been pushed to a higher level. At the same time, under the network environment, the library has obtained stronger technical support. We should construct the humanistic spirit of the library under the network environment, so as to realize the more healthy, comprehensive and harmonious development of the library, and make the library continue to play its due role in the network era and become an inexhaustible spiritual source for human beings.
5. Librarians should have keen information consciousness, strong information ability and psychological quality.
In the network environment, the strength of information consciousness directly affects whether people use information and the effect of using it. Librarians provide various services according to the needs of different users and readers. Librarians should directly provide information and materials to readers and users in their work, and get feedback from them, which requires librarians to have the ability to analyze the psychological characteristics, activity process and behavior needs of users and readers.
6. Strong discipline
In terms of professional discipline, we should consciously safeguard readers' rights and interests, keep readers' secrets, respect intellectual property rights, promote information dissemination, cherish literature resources and standardize professional exchanges. Free access to information and free expression are the basic rights of readers. In the past, the main purpose of the library was to preserve books, not to serve readers. Pay insufficient attention to the awareness of respecting intellectual property rights and protecting readers' secrets.
Library services must embody the principles of equality, confidentiality and public morality, and show humanistic care for readers. Libraries provide readers with documents, which are tools and resources. Librarians should not only protect the quantity of documents, but also collect them carefully and manage them scientifically in order to make better use of them and realize their due value.
Secondly, the network environment puts forward new requirements for the quality of university librarians.
1, break the traditional concept and establish a new sense of service.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of network technology, the process of information age is accelerating, which requires librarians to keep up with the pace of educational development, speed up their own knowledge and skills learning, have network information ability and service awareness, broaden service items and improve service quality to meet the needs of college readers under the network environment. Make librarians become the bridge and link between information users and information resources to communicate and transmit information.
2. It fully shows the social publicity, public welfare and enjoyment of modern book management.
The network environment provides superior conditions for information resources to enjoy * * *, users are the ultimate beneficiaries of resource enjoyment, and book management is a public welfare undertaking. In the era of knowledge economy, book management will be more public and interesting, and network communication technology will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the coordination field of information resources construction. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the computer operation level of librarians and strengthen the network knowledge training.
3. Strengthen the social function of library management and improve the quality of the whole people.
One of the social functions of book management is social education. Under the modern information environment, with the development of library science to digitalization and networking, the social education function of library management has not been weakened, but has been strengthened. Because the book management under the network environment is the center of exchange and storage of various information resources.
4. Establish a people-oriented service concept.
As the first factor of productivity, the development of library can only be realized through the promotion of talents. Establishing people-oriented management concept is the first condition for the sustainable development of library cause.
With the rapid development of science and technology, technology is an important support for libraries to realize humanistic care. At the same time, technology is inseparable from the guidance of humanistic care, otherwise, the service function of the library will become rigid, single and mechanical. Thus, technology and humanistic care are inseparable. Therefore, while pursuing advanced technology, university libraries should also embody humanistic care, and recognize and attach importance to the important role of humanistic care in the construction of university digital libraries.
Judging from the current library rules and regulations, there is a serious lack of humanistic atmosphere in some clauses such as professional ethics, business norms and readers' norms. How to embody humanistic care in specific work is a place that needs improvement at present. Libraries should give readers more rights and space to choose knowledge resources and service methods.
Because the service behavior, attitude, appearance and language of library staff will have a great influence on readers' reading psychology, it requires library staff to constantly improve their own quality and self-cultivation so that readers can feel the quality service. On the one hand, librarians should first be strict with themselves. On the other hand, librarians constantly improve their professional quality and optimize their knowledge structure. Under the network environment, university library requires staff to have good political quality, professional skills and knowledge structure, that is, to know information classification and information processing, to become compound talents as much as possible and to provide better services for readers.
5. Strong professional knowledge
Professional knowledge is the basis of expert leadership, and it is difficult to be competent for book management without professional knowledge. Only when you have rich professional knowledge of library and information, know your own management objects and the specific situation of related businesses can you set appropriate goals for your department, make scientific decisions and implement expert leadership.
With the in-depth development of the new technological revolution, library science has gradually developed into a comprehensive discipline in which social science, natural science and applied science permeate, intersect and combine with each other. Therefore, in the breadth of cultural knowledge and the depth of professional technology, the knowledge quality of library managers is required to be higher.
In addition, the library is an automatic, electronic, networked and virtualized multi-functional knowledge service place. Computers will become one of the important symbols of modern libraries. Using it to manage the database can not only reduce the labor intensity of staff, but also retrieve information for readers quickly, accurately and flexibly, meet the needs of readers and effectively improve the utilization rate of information resources.
In addition, developing the existing library management service resources and strengthening the incentive mechanism are the necessary ways to improve the quality of library managers. All the work of the library consumes the mental and physical labor of the staff and produces many intangible and tangible material products.
In a word, the rapid development of modern information technology and network technology puts forward higher requirements for the skills and efficiency of book management. Therefore, librarians must constantly optimize the knowledge structure and cultivate comprehensive quality from the above aspects to meet the requirements of the network information age.
The qualities that a librarian should possess. The Moral Quality of Librarians
The moral quality of librarians occupies a very important position. Dante said: people can't move like animals, but should have pursuit and virtue. Without great character, there will be no great people, or even great artists and actors. As a manager who provides knowledge services, moral literacy is very important, because "serving readers warmly and sincerely" is the most basic moral literacy of librarians in China, and library work is very boring. Without a warm heart, we can't really stick to it, so patience and love are the personal qualities that excellent librarians must have.
Book management is a front-line work, day after day, very monotonous. If it is only out of love for readers, it is difficult to face different readers and different needs, especially some readers have put forward some needs beyond our work scope. Librarians need to be patient and always smile at them. Therefore, in this ordinary post, they need to be dissatisfied and keep in mind their duties and responsibilities. Libraries should also be teachers and provide services without distinction.
Second, the political thoughts of librarians
The quality of librarians, political and ideological quality is very important. Without good political and ideological quality, no matter how high professional organizations and talents are, they can't play a role. Librarians need to abide by the corresponding professional ethics and provide the spirit of source power for the cultivation of talents. Librarians also need to have the level of Marxist theory, always pay attention to international and domestic events, and have strong political sensitivity to social focus and hot spots.
Third, librarians need rich knowledge.
With the development of the era of knowledge economy, the library is moving towards a comprehensive science in which the social, natural, humanistic and applied disciplines permeate and combine with each other. Therefore, the knowledge quality of library managers needs to meet higher development requirements in the breadth of cultural knowledge and the depth of professional technology. As we know, the library is the development center of human intellectual resources. Librarians need to pay attention to the cultivation of cultural and professional qualities, which requires mastering certain basic cultural knowledge, including both natural and social subjects, as well as rich life experience and knowledge accumulation.
Fourth, librarians need strong professional quality.
In terms of professional quality, it is necessary to have rich library professional knowledge, be familiar with the characteristics of library work, be familiar with their own jobs, and centrally manage computer book management such as books and periodicals, newspaper interviews, classification, cataloging, lending, inquiry and reader management. First of all, service is the basic purpose of library management, so to improve the quality of service, we need to implement two principles and adhere to care and patience.
First of all, be familiar with the library's quality management system, including procurement, numbering, return, circulation, destruction and other processes, and guide the development of related work to avoid mistakes and improve efficiency in view of the problems and matters needing attention in each process; Secondly, the inventory of books should be counted irregularly, and the electronic ledger should be checked to ensure that each book can really track the service and avoid the loss and damage of books;
It is necessary to replenish the supply of goods in time, effectively control books, ensure that every book is in stock, meet the reference and search of daily work, and try our best to ensure the timely replacement of old and new books and the timely release of catalogues; Finally, strengthen the memory of books and know the usage of books like the back of your hand. When new books are put into storage, try to understand the preface and table of contents, and then master the outline to improve the utilization rate of books. Old books can also be put on shelves, repaired, shelved and borrowed, which is convenient to find and provide more convenient services.
In the era of global economic integration, it is more necessary for librarians to innovate independently, tap their own potential, actively learn advanced foreign management concepts and improve the overall quality of librarians.
As librarians, we should learn, make progress and go out. With scientific standards, librarians must take the road of science and technology, innovation and learning if they want to make progress and meet challenges.
The library is a scientific and cultural position that uses books and materials to spread. It cultivates a knowledge base of talents with innovative spirit and independent opinions. Book management is sacred and complicated. Due to the development of science and technology, the school library is gradually getting rid of the past working mode and moving towards the computer information management mode. In this environment, improving the professional quality of library managers plays a positive role in ensuring the normal operation of school libraries.
