What Library &
Information Services Graduates Do
A Career in Libraries
Library & Information Services program graduates work in libraries at
universities and colleges, secondary and elementary schools, and
government agencies performing a wide variety of library management
services including cataloging, coding and assisting with research.
Graduates work in roles such as library technician, library
technical assistant and media aide.
Library & Information Services Job Responsibilities
Under the direction of professional librarians, library
paraprofessionals
help people by formulating search strategies and finding
information. They also do detail-oriented work such as
classification and cataloging. Library paraprofessionals instruct patrons
on the use of library systems and encourage and teach students to
use the library and media center.
The Skills You Need
Careers as a library
paraprofessional demand a high degree of comfort with
computers as well as a customer-service mindset, strong
organizational skills and attention to detail.
Because of my library computer technology classes, I am now a
competent and confident technophile. And the support and mentoring I
have received has been remarkable!
