School Library Specialists

Why it’s hot: Over the next decade, almost 70 percent of school library media specialists across America are expected to leave their jobs, many due to retirement, according the American Library Association. In addition, fewer people are going into the profession, resulting in more jobs. Learn More>>

Careers: Stricter certification rules, federally mandated standards and test scores and the increased role of technology in classrooms and libraries all have led to major changes in the profession. School library media specialists introduce elementary, middle school and high school students to literature and help them locate and select books and other media. Learn More>>

UVM’s program: The School Library Media Studies Sequence of seven upper-level/graduate courses is designed for both those with and without teacher certification. Non-educators may need additional coursework. The program’s curriculum addresses the competencies required by the state of Vermont; however, licensure is not automatics, and graduates’ transcripts must be evaluated by the state.
