Significant Points
- Librarians use the latest information technology to perform research, classify materials, and help students and library patrons seek information.
- A master’s degree in library science is the main qualification for most librarian positions, although school librarians often need experience as teachers to meet State licensing requirements.
- Despite slower-than-average projected employment growth, job opportunities are still expected to be favorable because a large number of librarians are expected to retire in the coming decade.
