A librarian is not a librarian. In fact, the work of a librarian that everyone takes for granted is no longer the core business of a library, and even the procurement of books tends to be outsourced. As for shelf management, shelf management, these are basically the marginal business of a library. The core business of the library is to provide personalized and targeted information services for teaching and scientific research. Now embedded services are particularly advocated, and the library of Shanghai Jiaotong University has done a good job.
As for the administrative level, it's hard to say, but since the former curator of our school library went to South University of Science and Technology, the new curator is the vice president of our college, so I estimate that the curator is at least the vice president or above.
What kind of person can be a librarian? I have read the recruitment notices of several schools, and basically all require five to seven years of comprehensive or auxiliary management experience in libraries. As for academic qualifications, let's put it this way: if you want to enter a better university library after graduating from library science, you need at least graduate students. For example, the library of Wuhan University is more and more inclined to doctoral students, and the entry threshold for graduate students is relatively high. Therefore, the academic level of librarians must be very high, because the recruitment requirements of south university of science and technology of china Wonderful Library are extremely low, as long as they have a bachelor's degree or above. Of course, people are eclectic in talent restoration and experimental fields, and there is nothing to say.
