Librarian

Jobs : Job Profiles

A librarian will co-ordinate the selection of books for a library, and also manage the organisation of the library, and often also have a certain budget to be allocated to a wide variety of subjects.

A librarian will need very good organisational skills, ability to work with database software and able to perform research.

An interest in a wide variety of knowledge is essential, and the ability to index information efficiently.

Many librarians have a library-specific qualification, often obtained after a first degree.

Starting salaries tend to be quite low, as a trainee, but qualified librarians and heads of libraries can earn a decent salary.

Job opportunities are limited to the number of libraries, but numbers should remain steady, particularly with more and more people learning longer, later in life, and the increased student numbers at universities where the detailed research needed means books are still very much required over internet research.
