Library Science Online Degree Programs

The field of library science is constantly changing, and librarians are classified according to the type library in which they work. Public libraries, school libraries or media centers, colleges, universities, other academic libraries, legal libraries, media centers, and government agencies all employ librarians with degrees in library science.

Jobs such as archivists, curators, and museum technicians require similar organizational, analytical, and organizational skills as librarians, and are often filled by library science majors. As various technologies change, anyone in these fields must continue their education to keep abreast of these changes. Archivists work for a variety of organizations, including government agencies, museums, historical societies, corporations, and educational institutions.

Salaries vary according to qualifications, experience, position, and location. Administrative librarians earn more. Median annual earnings of librarians are about $43,000. The average annual salary for librarians in the Federal Government in non supervisory, supervisory, and managerial positions was more than $70,000 in 2003. Median annual earnings are approximately $40,000.
