University library director: work tasks, capability requirements and their development mechanisms

Abstract:  [Purpose/Significance] Analyze the job tasks, capability requirements, and capability development mechanisms of university library directors. [Method/Process] Adopt a reverse approach, starting from the job tasks of the directors, and working backward to determine the capability requirements and development mechanisms. [Result/Conclusion] The main job tasks of university library directors are to coordinate planning and organizational work. They need to possess the capabilities of foresight, planning, coordination, and communication. The measures for the development of these capabilities involve systematically cultivating and enhancing meta-capability, information capabilities, cognitive capabilities, logical thinking capabilities, and imagination.
