So it's important to feel comfortable with computers. But most importantly, librarians work with people. Dealing with information means dealing with people. Educating students how to do research, finding conference papers for a surgeon, helping a member of the public get in touch with their MP, or retrieving archive footage for a TV director. They don't just protect and conserve data.
Librarians make information accessible.
Sometimes this means championing causes like freedom of information, and making sure information is available fairly, to everyone, regardless of physical ability or social background. Librarians must be approachable, though not a pushover. You might have to fairly distribute budgets or make sure the firm, university or authority is obeying copyright law. Work in other areas. Librarians can work as subject specialists and all sorts of workplaces, so none of this previous experience is wasted.
