These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Library & Archives Assisting majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Equipment Maintenance is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Active Listening, Service Orientation, Speaking, Critical Thinking, Coordination, Writing, Learning Strategies, Social Perceptiveness, Active Learning, Monitoring, Instructing, Time Management, Management of Personnel Resources, Judgment and Decision Making, Complex Problem Solving, Mathematics, Persuasion, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Management of Material Resources, Negotiation, Operation Monitoring, Management of Financial Resources, Operations Analysis, Operation and Control, Programming, Troubleshooting, Equipment Maintenance, Quality Control Analysis, Technology Design, Science, Equipment Selection, Repairing, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
