Choosing the library profession: Value system of the young adults and the content of career guidance
https://doi.org/10.33186/1027-3689-2020-1-84-103
Abstract
The author argues that the library schools lack the applicants who choose “Library and information activities” as specialization due to the underestimation of the prospects of library profession by secondary school students. Repositioning of the librarian’s image and shifting the emphases within the career guidance content are needed. The author analyzes the related digital resources and concludes that the represented image of library professionals is not that attractive. The meaningful professional orientation must be built on the motives and values of the young people choosing their future profession. The sociological studies completed in several Russian regions the dominating motivation of young people was revealed. They correspond with the satisfaction/dissatisfaction factors demonstrated in questioning the young Russian librarians. The positive aspects of the library profession to be promoted among the young are also discussed. The author proposes that for target career orientation we should rely on the key psychological types that differ in values when choosing profession. The Maslow pyramid demonstrates the differences in the professional choice criteria. It is used to structure the library professional orientation arguments.
