Is the work in the library good?

First of all, it is clear that librarians and librarians are two different occupations. Librarians really don't need any technical content, and they can be competent after completing nine-year compulsory education. The job content is nothing more than moving books, shelving and solving common problems of ordinary readers. Now many public libraries have outsourced this part of their work, which means that librarians are dispatch workers. Librarians sign labor contracts with libraries, and many of them are professional. With the continuous reform of public institutions, librarians may all be employed in the future.

Why do many people like to work in the library?

In everyone's impression, the work in the library is really relaxed and comfortable. I just stay with books every day, have a lot of time to read books, and the working environment is super good. However, this is not the case. People always like to stare at the advantages of other industries, while the disadvantages are often ignored. For example, how high it is to work in a bank. I wear a suit and tie and watch financial news every day. I know the national and international economic and financial situation like the back of my hand, with an annual income of tens of thousands. In fact, most people who work in banks laugh at themselves as financial workers. Their jobs are boring, their working hours are long, and their income is not as high as everyone thinks. Faced with the assessment of various indicators, they are under great pressure to resign. Similarly, the library industry also has its shortcomings, and the work content is roughly divided into the following parts. In fact, you only need to look at the organization of the library to know what jobs are available. In short, the purchasing and processing of books in the editing department is to buy books, and then input the information such as the title and author of the books into the book management system, and affix the call number and barcode to the books. Consulting department, answer readers' questions. Propaganda department, planning reader activities, operating new media, etc. Then there is the common financial and human resources. Of course, there are some big libraries, as well as the ancient books department, which specializes in scientific research. Do you find the work in these departments interesting? Want to work in the library, which department do you want to work in? In terms of salary, the salary of the library is the average level of society and can only be used for daily expenses. Saving money is impossible, and buying a house is even more unrealistic.

University library or public library?

At present, there seems to be no comparability between the two, and all aspects of university libraries are killing public libraries. No matter the working environment, salary and holiday, the university library is the winner. Basically, the library of every university is a landmark building of the school, and the environment inside is also the most comfortable. Except for the municipal library and the provincial library, the public library has a better environment, while other grass-roots libraries are small in area and old in equipment, at least in Wuhan where I live. Wages vary from place to place. Generally speaking, university libraries are higher than public libraries. Needless to say, university libraries have holidays in winter and summer vacations, and public libraries also have shifts on legal holidays. But in recent years, many people have applied for public libraries, and some public libraries are even a few hundred to one. I've said so much about the university library, but it's difficult to get in, at least more difficult than the public library. First of all, you must have a master's degree, which is the minimum academic threshold for university work. Secondly, the professional needs of university libraries are becoming more and more diversified, and all kinds of majors are recruiting people. Students majoring in library and information science have fewer and fewer opportunities to lie in university libraries.

What kind of person is more suitable to be a librarian?

Good home conditions, no shortage of room tickets, willing to live a plain and stable life, love books, ready to help others. I guess everyone is already dissatisfied with the service staff in the library. They go to the library to handle affairs, and their attitude is not like service, but more like approval. They drag their feet and have a very bad attitude. Many of these people have a little background, don't have much love for the library, and go to work purely for muddling along. I really hope that these older generations will retire and leave here quickly to make room for people who love libraries. With the development of China's cultural undertakings, libraries need a group of enthusiastic young people to purify the environment and promote innovation and development.
