LIBRARIANSHIP ACCOMMODATES EVERY PERSONALITY TYPE

Librarianship Accommodates Every Personality Type. Regardless of Your Traits, We Have a Department in the Library that Suits You There are several personality trait theories, and one of the most prominent is the Big Five theory, also referred to as the Five Factor Model. It categorises human personality traits into five dimensions: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Additionally, a more general traits categorisation includes introverts, extraverts, and those in-between. In librarianship, none of these traits is a waste or a threat. The library is broadly categorised into technical services and reader services departments. The subsections in the technical services include acquisition, cataloguing and classification, reprographic unit, serial section, among others, depending on the focus and size of the library.

Embarking on an academic career is both a challenging and rewarding journey. It’s essential to recognize that obtaining a doctorate is not merely a step; it’s a gateway certification that signifies your readiness for the rigors of independent research and scholarship.

THE PRICE OF MEDIOCRITY: WHY 'GOOD ENOUGH' ISN'T ENOUGH

  THE PRICE OF MEDIOCRITY: WHY 'GOOD ENOUGH' ISN'T ENOUGH by Azeez ADEOYE (Wizard Librarian), azeez.adeoye@fuhsi.edi.ng 08-08-2024 The First Semester Exam Results are Finally Out! It’s time to reflect on the warnings and advice we've shared about university education. Now, you’ll understand the truth behind the saying, "As you lay your bed, so must you lie on it." Students who earned straight A's, don’t be tempted to relax—one of the most challenging aspects of life is sustaining success. Why? Because the effort required to stay successful is often greater than that needed to achieve success in the first place. If you’ve received C's, don’t settle for mediocrity; getting close doesn’t hit the target, and it certainly won’t win you a gold medal. The fact that you have C's shows you’re capable of more, so put in the extra effort, and you’ll achieve your goals. To students who are below average, don’t panic, but don’t be complacent eithe
