2. A Career in Library Science

Librarians work in libraries of all sorts, ranging from those in children's schools, to public libraries, to university libraries. Some librarians also work in law libraries, art libraries, in museums, or in other research facilities. Many people become a librarian because they love books, libraries, or the overall mission of libraries. Careers in library sciences can be a great choice for those with a love of knowledge and desire to help others learn.

Library sciences incorporate humanities, law and applied sciences when training students to be librarians. In some cases, library sciences programs also provide training in the archival sciences. A number of sub-disciplines exist within the library sciences, including automated services librarians, library media specialists, preservationists, as well as several individual branches of study. Librarians do not just work in libraries, but also in archives, museums, as conservators and more.

Some librarians may even put their focus toward new ways of organizing information and making it more accessible to the world as a whole. This can include the possibility of converting information to digital media, or working as an information architect and dealing with data and information in entirely new ways. As you can see a career in library science is as varied as the librarians who choose this field.

3. Who Should be a Librarian

Librarians are no longer the stereotypical older woman with glasses perched on her nose. Today's librarians are library media specialists, skilled in managing and understanding information from a wide variety of sources. Libraries in the modern world integrate not only books, but also computers, audio and video materials and more. More and more libraries even make use of and offer any number of virtual resources, including downloadable files and more.

If you enjoy information of all sorts and like organizing and sharing information, jobs in library sciences may be right for you. That is functionally the job of all librarians, whether they are library media specialists, automated systems librarians or specialty librarians of one sort or another. Excellent research skills are critical for any librarian, and you may find yourself regularly assisting library patrons with a variety of research projects or needs. While you are not expected to know the answers, you do need to know how to find the answers to a wide range of questions quickly and easily.

Not all library jobs are customer service positions. Some may involve organizing and cataloging materials, ordering, and even book preservation. The key criteria to whether you should consider jobs in a library is simple. Do you love libraries? If you do, perhaps choosing a library career would be right for you.

4. The Skills a Librarian Needs

Librarians need a wide variety of skills in order to do their jobs well. A career as a librarian of any sort, whether it is as one of several library media specialists or automated systems librarians or working as a reference librarian or children's librarian, requires attention to detail. If you enjoy cataloging and organizing, whether physically or virtually, this is also a helpful skill for careers in library sciences. A keen memory will allow you to do your job efficiently.

One of the most critical skills a good librarian possesses is research. Librarians often find themselves called upon to assist library patrons with finding the information that they need, sorting through available resources, and quickly discerning the potential use of a given research material. If you enjoy doing research, you might be well suited to library careers. In today's libraries, librarians need to be comfortable with both print materials and other media in order to serve the library's patrons.

Depending upon your specialty, you may also need to feel comfortable working with automated computer systems, people, or children. An art librarian may find a good memory for images helpful, while a reference librarian in a public library system may find it beneficial to understand tax forms or other common questions.
