About the education, professional qualification and wages of librarians employed by central libraries - Ere Tammeorg
The article is based on a thesis, “The relationship between educational and professional requirements and earnings in Estonian public libraries”, defended in the Viljandi Culture Academy of the University of Tartu in 2012. The research sample included fifteen county libraries, Tallinn Central Library, and Tartu Public Library. The library managers are mostly concerned with the ageing of the staff and the lack of newly recruited young professionally educated specialists. Young people do not want to work in the library, as they lack career opportunities there, and there exists no harmonized wage policy.
