This review is from: Career Opportunities in Library and Information Science (Hardcover)

I am applying for graduate school to earn my MLIS and found this book to be very helpful. It includes a TON of different careers you can have with your GLIS or MLIS. Each job title includes a salary range, employment prospects, prerequisites, career ladder, position description and tips for landing the job. This is not another vague career book -- it has excellent concrete information. The author has clearly done substantial research for this book.
This book helped me make the plunge. I was worried about getting my MLIS and then not being employed, but this book really gave me a lot of options to explore.

2.0 out of 5 stars All Library Science, NO Information Science, August 29, 2008

This review is from: Career Opportunities In Library And Information Science (Paperback)

If your looking for information on how and where to obtain a job in a library, this is a good book. Other than that, the book fails to give you examples on how far a degree in Library and Information Science can take you in the business world. If your not really interested in being a librarian, my advise would be to pick up another book that gives you more options. Or, go back to school and get another type of degree. Your choice.
