This thesis is a study of information gathered from interviews of recently graduated librarians, with focus on their opinion of their professional skills. A total of 14 librarians were interviewed, all of whom have been working professionally in public libraries for less than two years. A qualitative content analysis of the interviews reveals that many of our participants have a deficiency in pedagogic skills and practical experience, their knowledge strengths lie in areas such as information seeking and using databases and so this is where they felt most comfortable. However, this knowledge is not frequently needed in their work within the public libraries. The results of our study therefore appear to highlight a gap between education received and skills required for the actual work.
