Library-keeper, Library worker
Description
The knowledge society and the digital revolution have turned information into a key resource that needs to be properly ordered and managed according to its purpose. This management has become more complex as society has evolved, and these professionals are responsible for organising all the information, both physical and digital, that can be found in libraries.
This occupation requires skills that include searching for relevant information on the web, digital skills, programming activities, project management skills, critical thinking, data analysis and communication skills for customer service.
Today, librarians work in a wide range of fields: public libraries, university libraries, archives, specialised documentation centres, document service companies, content management companies, corporate archives, among others. They also work with all types of documents, media and formats: books, archival documents, sound and audio-visual recordings (both analogue and digital), images (photographs, posters, etc.), digital archives (data, image, sound, etc.), among others.
