Abstract

More often than not, professional library posts stipulate that candidates must hold an appropriate qualification in information or library science/studies. Some go further and stipulate CILIP chartership.

But what constitutes a professional or qualified librarian? Are these professional qualifications the only viable route into library roles? Where do we draw the boundaries?

This lightening talk argues that we should apply flexibility to this definition of ‘qualified’ and look at some examples of where a broader definition has brought new skills and competencies into the team at The Hive.
