Health Sciences Librarian
A health science librarian provides access to medical
information through books, pamphlets, journals, tapes, multimedia
presentations, and the Internet. Health science librarians help health
providers, patients, and students sort through the vast amount of information
available.
Salary:
Average $58,000
Education:
Students
must graduate from high school, taking classes such as English, math, typing,
and science. A four-year bachelor's degree is then required, including courses
such as science and computer science. A master's degree in library science is
mandatory. Courses include scientific literature, biomedical communication,
bibliographic resource use, library organization and management, and standard
cataloging systems. While health science librarians are not required to be
certified, the Medical Library Association does offer certification
examinations which would help a librarian advance to a higher position.
I
would not be interested in becoming a health science librarian because it seems
like such a boring job to be working in. I would also not like to work in this pathway
because there are lots of academic requirements you need in order to be eligible
to work as HSL.
