加拿大华人论坛 加拿大生活信息图书馆专业申请和就业形势指南



在加拿大


为某些有兴趣读这个专业的藤子写的.很多人以为图书馆员就是在图书馆里借书还书整整书.这个在北美不叫图书馆员,只是LIBRARY ASSISTANT,只要COLLEGE的DIPLOMA就可.有的是义工.LIBRARIAN在北美是专业人员(PROFESSIONAL)是要”执照”的,这个”执照”就是MLS或MLIS学位,你有PHD没有MLIS学位也不能做LIBRARIAN.MLIS学位只有ALA(美国图书馆学会)认可的五十所学校才有资格授予.加拿大只有七所:MCGILL,U of Montreal, U of Toronto, Western Ontario, UBC, Dalhousie, Alberta.入学不是很难,只要有任何一个正规大学的任一门课的本科学位即可.但对非英语(魁省非英法母语者)一般要求英文鸭试在7.5和8.0(详情见各学校录取要求)工作相对容易找也稳定,有公共图书馆,专业图书馆,学校图书馆和学术图书馆,国会图书馆等,起薪视地区有差别,有些容易进(公共,起薪在3.5-4.5万左右,稳定),有些难进(法律要有法律本科,学术要有两个MASTER DEGREE或PHD,警察军队安全部门如CIA则政审很严,但薪水高,一般起薪在5.5-6.5万左右,最稳定),公司等中等(起薪4.5-5.5万左右,稳定,)详情请参看www.ala.org 和 www.cla.ca 我就不一一作答了.但我不能包你找到工作,找不到工作或另时工作的老外也很多.如你专业背景好(法律,生物,科学,工程,电脑,艺术,地理信息等)并能说会道就去学学,如文科就不要去学了,因为很多老外是文科背景,你和他们去抢饭碗的难度是显而易见的.如你半天也放不出一个闷P的,背景再好也不要去读了.
