Health Science Librarian

Duties and Responsibilities:

A Health Science Librarian sorts through and organizes information on health. A Health Science Librarian will also sort through the vast sources of information on health to aid a patient seeking for info. Sources of information include books, pamphlets, journals, tapes, multimedia presentations, and the internet.

Salary:

 $20,000 - $30,000 (Library Technicians)

$35,000 - $55,000 (Librarians) 

Education: A four-year bachelor's degree is required, including courses such as science and computer science. A master’s degree in library science is also required. 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. 

Answer: I think I would not like to be a health science librarian because it seems very difficult not that rewarding. I wouldn’t want to be a librarian in the first place. I love books and reading them but to be in charge of a million books and to have to know where each one would be doesn’t seem pleasant.
