Jeez, I forgot how expensive studying is in the US. No wonder you have to be 100% sure that's the career you want! I'm glad I live in a country where education is free, you can change your mind as many times as you want!!

You can get financial aid and grants in the U.S under certain conditions. By the way, if it's paid by the tax payers it isn't really free. Finally, I am don't see any advantages in changing your mind as many times as you want. What's the plan? Graduating when you're 40 after changing your major 10 times? This might also scare many employers, are you going to quit after 3 weeks if they hire you? In the U.S you just have to be smarter and mature when it comes to college as there are plenty of useless degrees and you don't want to waste time and money for a piece of paper. Where I live a Master of Library Science will get you a job with a $20 to $23/hour compensation; imo it is only worth it if you're really passionate about this field, the requirements vs wages/salary are a bit laughable in some areas.

I have a bachelors degree in history education and I decided I didn’t really want to be a teacher after the fact. I’ve always wanted to be a librarian and I think I’m going to pursue it. I’d love to archive and work with old documents as well, and the college I live near offers a dual masters in library and information science as well as history. It sounds like a lot, but I’m also planning on getting my foot in the door and looking for a clerk job at a library.

Library Science is not a known program, in fact there are less number of Librarians all over the world. With this, its really a challenge on how to promote this program to the general public. In a country where I came from (Philippines), after finishing or graduating this 4 year program the graduates must pass the librarians licensure examination which contains 6 major areas in the field. After that, we can take or enroll for MLIS program in graduate school.

My recommendations is if you would like to study in the U.S., definitely research colleges that affordable, especially since you are internationally-based. I am choosing SJSU are my grad school because it is one of the most affordable for me :) I also recommend connecting with a librarian in the field of your choice and send them emails about your goals; their experience may help you out. That is what I did and their answers helped me out a ton. I would say, continue watching videos of other librarians' experiences, research on the best outcomes for you to study here, and connect with people who share the same goals as you :))

If so what you recommend maybe as a master degree which leads to occupy a job which deals with a lot of reading espisaly academic content/books/magazines/academic documents and so on iam really looking for answer for a long time .. or this job is just an illusion ☹️ ?

@dmbalsam7 ай бұрын
I went to college as an education major. I student taught in a school library. I had an undergraduate minor in Library Science. After graduation I worked as a school librarian/media specialist and pressured my MLIS while working. Because of a major out of state move and before the internet, i attended 2 different master programs. Other required classes you failed to mention are reference materials, administration, and cataloging. My specialty is children’s literature. The technology classes at that time are totally different, computers were just starting to be used in libraries. I had to learn a computer language and never used that knowledge.

I've volunteered at my local public library and I have been recently trying to find a Librarian assistant/ circulation job in my area just to get more experience and see if this is something that I want to pursue a degree in. However, most job listings require an MLIS. It's hard to get more experience when jobs already require you to have it. Do you have any recommendations?
@chelseawritesbooks87632 жыл бұрын
Librarian here: I don't know what your libraries are like in your area, but if you find a big library system, maybe a county wide system with branches that is reletively busy, they usually have more jobs open that do not require MLIS, as they usually need more part time help. Or if you find a small, private library, they sometimes will hire without an MLIS. I was hired at a small, private library with only a BA for the YA librarian position. I'll be going back for my MLS in a couple years, but they said I could take my time with it.

@bookwormidaho3215 жыл бұрын
Go to the American Library Association to start. They usually have a small list of scholarships. Also check with the school you are going to and check to see if they have funding options for a graduate program. In most cases you won't receive pell grants for a post-grad degree (masters) unless it goes into some kind of education position (check with your school for this). It may help in your favor to go to a school that is specifically for librarianship. Also try this site for some scholarship information: ischool.uw.edu/programs/mlis/tuition-financial-aid/scholarships. Hope this helps.

Imon Sheikh it really depends on the school you want to go to and what you have to do there to receive funding from the school or federal scholarships ( by US standards). I would look first into ALA scholarships and call or email the foundations to check if the funds can be used in another country and then see if there are any oversea schooling scholarships that can be used for multiple subjects, not just specifically a library school If you are going to go to a foreign country, you are going to need to do ALOT of research and double and triple check everything. I just recommend taking a whole year to the side to plan it out accordingly if you want the entire thing to be funded by scholarships, otherwise all I can tell you is to research the scholarships I have listed in my comments above. Hope this helps.

Why do you need a degree to work at a library
@JD-zi7ip4 жыл бұрын
You don't need a degree for the lower paying, mainly clerical jobs, which are usually called "library page," "library assistant," or "library technician." However, to provide reference services, do instruction, cataloging, collection development, and management, a MLS, MLIS, or equivalent degree is generally required, at least in the United States and Canada. People in these positions need to have high levels of skill, general knowledge, and experience, and are usually called "librarians." Librarians create and develop libraries and library services to serve their particular communities. They are familiar with information sources (books, journals, videos, music, online sources, etc.) that their communities would find useful, educational, or entertaining. They know the publishing industries. They know how to organize the materials they collect or otherwise provide access to. They talk with their users and provide specialized reference services (i.e. they locate information to answer specific questions). They also offer programs that help people become aware of what the library offers. They know what's no longer needed and keep their libraries fresh.
