| | Librarian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the workplace, the librarian is usually a professional with a Masters degree in library science or information science who is trained and educated to analyze information needs and use a wide variety of information resources to meet those needs. | | | Although librarians are traditionally associated with collections of books, they can deal with the organization and retrieval of information in many formats such as Internet resources, compact discs, photographs, videotapes, newspapers, magazines, and computer databases. | | | Elsewhere, a librarian can have a three- or four-year bachelor's degree in library and information studies or Information science; separate master's degrees in librarianship, archive management, and records management are also available. |

| | Librarian |
| | Librarians are the custodians of our culture’s retrievable media-books, audio/visual, and any data or physical objects that can be catalogued and stored. | | | Research and computer skills are important, and therefore those who are generally less comfortable with computers find the transition to on-line archives much more difficult. | | | A librarian does far more than sit at the desk and check books in and out of the library. |
