Careers in Library and Information Services
Careers in Library and Information Services
Helps readers understand what careers are available for graduates with a master's degree in library and information sciences.
Written in a conversational, candid tone, Careers in Library and Information Services collects first-hand accounts from workers who have earned a master's of library science degree to help new LIS graduates understand their career options.
Each of the chapters provides readers with a snapshot of a particular career. Chapters are gathered into parts: an introduction on "Why Do We Do This?" is followed by careers in public libraries, school libraries, academic libraries, special libraries, and careers outside of libraries. Each chapter author describes their typical duties, shares likes and dislikes, and offers advice for those wanting a job like theirs.
Invaluable for those considering entering an MLS program, those currently enrolled in MLS programs, graduates looking for work, and professionals considering a career shift, this engaging book is both practical and fun to read.
