Actually to be a school librarian you only need a bachelor's of education focusing in something IT-related, plus whatever teaching cert your state requires. And in public libraries, you also only need a bachelor's in information science to be a library tech, which is the one that stocks the shelves and checks out books to local schoolchildren. Only being a full librarian needs a Master's. That said, academic libraries won't even look at you if you have less than a Master's.
Ok, how? IT-librarian? I can belive in IT-related assistant, but librarian? In school? Where I live they usually have degree in pedagogy.
Ah. Nvm. I thought you said about only librarians.
IT stands for Information Technology. Library Science is a subset of IT.
