Familiarity with library management systems, digital archives, and cataloguing tools like MARC or Dewey Decimal Classification is essential.

This is important if you work with students in an academic setting. You also need some research experience and a strong awareness of research procedures and tools. Library technicians and assistants need to have a high school diploma or a GED certificate and strong administrative skills. If you are seeking a job in library computer support, you need at least a bachelor’s degree in information technologies.

However, many libraries provide professional development opportunities and foster a supportive team environment to help staff successfully navigate these changes.
