Abstract
Findings revealed that librarians of Bicol had a very positive attitude towards librarianship with an average weighted mean of 3.71. For the respondents’ level of involvement, librarians had a very high level of involvement in librarianship with an average weighted mean of 3.57 and the librarians had a “very high” level of capability in librarianship with an average weighted mean of 3.60. There was a significant difference in the respondents’ level of involvement in librarianship when grouped according to educational attainment (x2 = 12.440; p = 0.002 < 0.05). And there was a significant difference in the respondents’ level of capability in librarianship when grouped according to length of service (F = 3.101; p = 0.033 < 0.05). In addition, there was a significant relationship between respondents’ attitude and level of involvement in librarianship as shown by r value of 0.520 (moderate correlation) and the p-value of 0.000, which is less than the 0.01 level of significance. Also there was a significant relationship between respondents’ level of involvement and level of capability in librarianship as shown by r value of 0.638 (moderate correlation) and the p-value of 0.000, which is less than the 0.01 level of significance. The research study concluded that the more positive the attitude of the respondents toward librarianship, the higher their level of involvement in it. The higher the level of involvement in librarianship, the higher the level of capability in it. This further suggests that the more actively engaged someone is in the field of librarianship (involvement), the more knowledgeable they become.
