C. Conceptual Skill: This incorporates the ability to
understand the complexity of the overall organization and where
one own‟s operation fit into the organization. The knowledge
permits one to act according to the objectives of the total
organization rather than only on the basis of goods and need of
one‟s immediate group. The appropriate needs of their skills vary
as individuals‟ progress in the library profession from Assistant
Librarian to University Librarian in the case of University
Libraries. For efficiency and effectiveness, less technical skill
tend to be needed as one advance from the lower to higher level,
but the need for more conceptual skills become more manifest. In
contrast, the Assistant librarians need considerable technical skill
because they are often required to handle the library clientele
directly, handle the technical aspects of the library processes and
to train the Para- professionals and other support staff in their
various sections. At the other extreme, the University Librarian
does not need to handle technical details but need to know how
to perform them and should be able to see how all these
technicalities and conceptual skills needed at different levels
vary, the common. Denominator that appears crucial at all levels
is human skills. The importance of human skill cannot be over emphasized.
