Relevance of work experience as library student assistant to first full-time library job Susannah T. Villegas ; Jackson V. Yang, adviser.

Thesis (Bachelor of Library and Information Science) University of the Philippines Diliman April 2001. Librarians who worked as library student assistants asserted the positive effect of the work experience. This is because work experience bridges the gap between theoretical learning and real library work application. It also provides an advantage since students are already exposed to library and information work even before graduating. To determine if work experience as library student assistant has significant effect with regards to first full-time library employment, the researcher studied two groups of respondents. Currently employed academic librarians from UE, UP Diliman and UST comprised the total population. They were divided into two research groups - (SA) experimental group for those who were former library students assistants and (Non-SA) control group for those who have had no library assistantship training. Chi-square (X2) and ANOVA statistical methods showed the independence of SA/Non-SA status with regards first full-time library job satisfaction and no difference between ranking mean score of both group. It was also found out that prior work experience when applying for first full-time library job is not usually required. Although statistical analysis showed the non-relevance of work experience to first full-time job satisfaction, interviewed respondents highly asserted the positive effect of student assistantship not only to library work but also in terms of personal satisfaction.
