Abstract:

There is no library profession threshold in China.Technical and junior college libraries which are smallsized and underdeveloped magnify the negative effects of the current situation of human resources. The viewpoints of library directors in technical and junior college libraries are critical to the professionalization. The survey towards the directors reveals the situation of professionalization and future paths for the first time, which shows that half of the directors are rotated to libraries and stay for a short period while the positional bonus and political deal is a key factor for them. The background of library and information science education makes little difference,which suggests the LIS education should be renovated. The directors acknowledge that the college libraries need interdisciplinary talents and need a profession threshold.There are some advantages and disadvantages in the process of professionalization, thus the college library society should pay attention to both reality and objectives ahead. Stepbystep progress in every possible detail is especially important to avoiding stagnancy.

Key words: Library, Library profession, Library science, Library director, Technical and junior college
