promote their library to the public.
Some of the activities that always been
organized by the librarian are reading
campaign, storytelling competition,
book fairs, and many more. Hence, this
kind of program or activity will attract
more people especially the youngsters
which consist of teenagers and school
children in using the library also changing their old perceptions towards the
library.
In addition, the next responsibilities that need to be done by a librarian as they work in their daily life
is they also must have strong leadership
personality in themselves because from
time to time they will be invited to conduct a class for a new users that need to
learn on using the software in retrieving
information such as the online public
access catalogue. The librarian will provide a direction, motivation and guidance to the new generations in order to
face the challenging in the future in the
aspects of communication skills, leadership skills and other things that are
useful for them to be used in the future
as in their work later.
Finally, the last things is about
the lifestyle of the librarian is about
their self-development. In their daily
life, they must always do some things
regarding information to acquire new
knowledge, explore new talents and
skills.
This will make them are already in themselves that can be used
in contribute to the advancement and
enhanced their works in increasing and
improving their quality of works.
In a nutshell, I can conclude
that being a librarian is not an easy
work because it needs a lot of commitment and scarifying to serve the public
or community and provide them with a
valuable and the correct information to
be used in their daily life as regarding
their needs in the field of work. Other than that, it is also can be said that
the person that being a librarian is the
one that are very versatile and capable
various field of information. Why I’m
talking like that? When a librarian is being asked about the information regarding engineering, medical information,
they know the information and can help
their user in doing research.
Does the engineer or a doctor
know how to do a cataloguing and all of
the acquisition process? I think that you
already know the answer. So, let’s read
and become a knowledgeable person
and changes your perception towards
the library.
