Students of library science programs study books, e-books, magazines, images, music, videos, maps, newspapers, computer games, and other digital resources. In large libraries, librarians may specialize in areas such as acquisition, research, cataloguing, online services, or children's services. Graduates of universities with the study of library science work in specialized libraries, including corporate, legal, medical or school, work as researchers and managers.
To become a librarian, it is necessary to obtain a higher education at a university with a specialization in the field of information media, information services or information research. In addition, you can earn a degree in any discipline and then gain a postgraduate qualification in information studies or information management.
