What is the position of a university librarian?
Generally speaking, the current university librarians are all library science majors and have considerable attainments in the field of library science. For example, Zhu Qiang, the curator of Peking University, has a considerable level in the field of library science. For example, the current curator of our school used to be the vice president of the School of Information Management of our school. He also engaged in academics and participated in specific teaching work. Zhang Xiaolin, the curator of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (although not the curator of the university library, but the curator of the scientific research library, has little difference in nature), can be said. However, some of them are not in the field of library science, but they are famous. For example, Ge, the current curator of Fudan Library, has nothing to do with library science and is still a curator, but this phenomenon is becoming less and less, because library management needs to learn library science to some extent. In fact, I think there are basically no academic requirements for scientific research in universities, except for various secretaries. The rest, whether the dean or the head of the department, need to have a certain academic level. At least the evaluation of professional titles depends on your academic level, while secretaries and the like also need academic qualifications, but they are more bureaucratic.

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.
