What do Librarians Do?
Academic librarians are considered information experts who help students and faculty with:
- Finding;
- Retrieving;
- Evaluating; and
- Ethically using resources.
Librarians are required to have a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree. Sometimes, this degree is also known as "MLS" (Master of Library Science) or "MSLS" (Master of Science in Library Science) or "MALS" (Master of Arts in Library Science), depending on the degree-granting institution. Many academic librarians also have expertise in a particular subject.
