Library Careers

Typically, those becoming librarians must obtain an undergraduate degree from a 4 year program of their choice. To be accepted into a graduate school, the program does no matter so long as the student has a 3.0 average.
Then, the student will have to take 1 to 2 years studying for a master's degree in a program that has been authorized by the American Library Association, such as a master in Library and Information Science. This course can be taken at the University of BC and Mcgill University, as well as Universities outside of British Columbia like University of Alberta, and University of Toronto. From the courses, the student will learn things such as:

• Library Management
• Cataloguing
• Reference Resources
• Library Collections
• Research Methods

Skills which they would need to have in order to run the library.
