This program is for students who do not have a teaching credential and would like to
become a school librarian.
Note: This guidesheet was created to assist you in course selection. It is a replacement for the school's
“Program Statement” form. It is recommended that you begin this program by taking the CORE classes.
Job Description: A school librarian typically works with students in a school library/media center. The
daily job responsibilities of a school library media specialist typically reflect the roles of teacher,
instructional partner, administrator, and information specialist. A school library media specialist takes an
active role in teaching information literacy skills, collaborating with teachers on lessons, assisting
teachers with curriculum resources, and integrating technology into the curriculum. The school library
media specialist has an administrative role in managing all aspects of the school library such as
developing the collection of library resources and making them available to staff and students. As an
information specialist, the school library media specialist instructs others on evaluating and accessing
information resources.
