BLANCO, Nancy. Cultural and Social Intelligence in Library and Information Science. Inf. cult. soc. [online]. 2022, n.47, pp.5-12.  Epub Oct 14, 2022. ISSN 1514-8327.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/ics.i47.12057.

In this editorial, we reflect on the aspects and capabilities necessary or required for professionals in Librarianship and Information Science and their relationship with current social demands. The usual technical skills that are typical of technological environments as well as those previously mentioned soft skills are explored among these scenarios, especially the social communication skills that are necessary facing a global citizenship. Finally, the idea of multiple skills is proposed in relation with cultural and emotional intelligence and its close connection with job satisfaction to create inclusive environments in the library.

Keywords : Cultural intelligence; Soft skills; Social-communication skills.
