ABSTRACT

This study attempts to investigate the perception of professionalism of librarians in public libraries and difference in that regard between librarians and library users in terms of branding and brand communication. To achieve this goal, a series of statistical analysis was conducted using a questionnaire survey of librarians in public libraries and library users. The results showed that brand communication between public librarians and library users is inactivated for each element. Therefore, they need external branding that relates to the public libraries and librarians characteristics in professionalism for library users and internal branding that relates to librarian’s professionalism and the expertise of librarians so as to improve brand communication further.
