1)Based on your experience as a Librarian, can you share with me which Universities in Australia, US, UK and Canada offer Post graduate diploma and MA in Library Sciences?
2)How many areas of specialization are there for Library Sciences ie. archival, reference, etc
3) What is your advise for an entry level graduate from Social Sciences background to enter the Library industry?
Thank you.
Answer I do not have expertise in library schools outside of the United States. Therefore, I recommend that you contact the International Federation of Library Associations(www.ifla.org) and/or the Australian Library and Information Association (www.alia.org.au). Both sites will be helpful in identifying schools in Australia. You will also be able to get a great deal of information on the profession at www.ala.org
