LIBRARY: LIBRARIANS:
Think Librarians Are Hot? Not So Fast
Think Librarians Are Hot? Not So Fast
Technorati
From the School House
http://technorati.com/business/article/think-librarians-are-hot-not-so/
Think of library science as technology meets liberal arts, with a healthy
dose of SQL, databases, and human-computer interaction coursework. The
education can be challenging, as library science is really a soft computer
science degree.
There are 57 Master's level programs accredited by the American Library
Association, churning out a total of 6,500 new Master's of Library Science
(MLIS) graduates per year. Libraries require this Master's degree for
almost every public and school library position. Even more astounding,
academic libraries typically require two Master's degrees, the MLIS and
another Master's in a subject specialty.
These 6,000 new librarians then run into the reality of finding positions
actually within libraries. Part time work, work below the educational
level, an informal apprenticeship program, and other issues face would-be
librarians. Many positions prefer to hire candidates who have library
experience, a Catch-22 that permeates the system. Often "non-professional"
work is required before cinching down a part-time position, often without
benefits. Note: the broad term "non-professional" means anything from
archivist to book-shelving. Another key element is that the majority of
job openings are going to be due to retirement, which means that
applicants are waiting for senior staff to retire in a heavy recession.
