text: any librarians out there? what kinds of college courses do you have to take to become a librarian? (school or public library) thanks! you need a master's degree or postgraduate diploma in either library and information studies or information science.  you can complete *any* bachelor's degree and as long as you gain a 2:2 (equivalent to a c) or above you can enrol on one of these postgraduate library courses. so choose any subject(s) you find interesting in college, then when you go to university choose any bachelor's degree you find interesting.  once you complete your bachelor's degree, find a university which offers one of these library or information courses at master's level and enrol.  once you've completed your master's degree, you'll be a qualified librarian.
