Hi,
I am currently doing a HNC course in Library and Information Science at the Edinburgh's Telford College. It covers a wide range of subjects, from cataloguing, user service to Human Resource Management and Behavioural Science. II am studying the course by open learning so I am able to study around by other commitments

In San Diego requirements for Library techs include thorough knowledge of many different computer systems, including Web 2.0. Databases, copy cataloging, and digital portfolios. Knowing how to mend, cover and repair materials may also be necessary.
I have a 4 year degree with a minor in psychology and a Library and Information Science certificate and library work is very difficult to find.
It takes much more than a high school diploma to get a job here and we have many MLS and MLIS applying for tech jobs so the competition is fierce!
I don't know about other parts of the country. Oh yes I also have over 15 years of library experience.
