Competences for future library professionals of academic libraries in Malaysia. Library Review, 46 (6). pp. 381-393. ISSN 0024-2535 (1997)
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to determine competences of library and information professionals in Malaysia for entry-level positions in academic libraries in the first five years after joining the professional fold. It was targeted to identify sets of foundation competences and those related to the following operational areas of an academic library: circulation, cataloguing, information services, collection development, and serials. The term library and information professional in this study refers to all those individuals who have acquired their undergraduate or postgraduate qualification in a formal education programme of library and information studies. The term entry level refers to the point of entry of a professional immediately after graduation from a formal programme of library and information studies. The first five years of practice of such a professional were treated as entry level.
