Abstract

It is the library that is an indispensable part in the building of advanced culture, the exchanging center of documentation and information, a knowledge base of teaching and scientific research, and second class for people learning knowledge. Moreover, it gives comprehensive and sustained learning opportunities to the people who love learning. Therefore , librarians play a very important role. As librarians ,they should not only classify books , maintain the normal working order of the libraries, but should have advanced knowledge of management and professional skills, providing professional service for readers who need professional books. Through surveys and statistics, this paper has made statistical analysis on the situation of Sino-American librarians. The first part of this paper mainly describes the differences of Sino-American librarians in the settings of librarians, vocational qualification requirements for librarians, and service capabilities and so on. In the second part, by applying non-linear least-squares principle, weighting linear and optimalizing the survey data, the statistical mathematical models has been developed. In the third part, through professional investigation and analysis software, namely, Minitab ,making statistics processing for data, the best representation has been got in the three aspects, that’s to say, the settings of librarians , vocational abilities of librarians, and service capabilities. Thus it provides a theoretical basis for the hiring and training of librarians.
