Why Be a Science Librarian?
Do you have a passion for your subject, love of learning and interest in advocacy? If so, science librarianship may be the career for you! "Science Majors Needed," a brochure from the Science and Technology Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries lists reasons to become a science librarian, educational requirements for science librarian jobs and types of environments employing science librarians. In case your curiosity isn’t already piqued, read this quote from the brochure: “A well-documented shortage of librarians in general and science librarians in particular creates a job market with many opportunities for scientifically trained information professionals.”
