LIKELY TO SUCCEED: ATTITUDES AND APTITUDES OF NEW INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS
A half-day seminar at the Department of Information Science, Loughborough
University
Tuesday March 30th 1999
'Likely to succeed' is a British Library Research and Innovation Centre
funded project which has been investigating the workforce needs of library
and information services and personal qualities of new professionals.
This seminar will disseminate the results of the research and include short
papers from employers and an admissions tutor giving their perspective of
the personality requirements of library and information work. The seminar
is aimed at:
· library and information employers who want to learn more about the
characteristics that information and library studies graduates bring to the
workplace;
· admissions tutors in departments of information and library studies who
need to be able to select applicants who will be successful students and
who will eventually be outstanding in the information profession.
