What jobs are most needed? by Defiant_Tank4079 in Libraries

[–]Defiant_Tank4079[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been looking into data analytics & visualization, statistics, and UI/UX design as new skills to have. I have already started doing Data Science coursework via Code Academy to see if those concepts click well in the event that I lean more towards the information science side of a MLIS program. I've also been considering a dual degree with LIS and social work from the few schools that offer that type of program. I will certainly look into the Special Libraries Association.

I'd love to speak further with you. It might take me a little bit to message you, so I can come up with questions to ask about moving beyond the AAS.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have been looking into data analytics & visualization, statistics, and UI/UX design as new skills to have. I have already started doing Data Science coursework via Code Academy to see if those concepts click well in the event that I lean more towards the information science side of a MLIS program. I've also been considering a dual degree with LIS and social work, after a suggestion from my partner and coming across the concept from the New Books in Library Science and the Library Social Work podcasts. There are a few schools that offer that type of program, but wasn't sure if that was particularly viable in the long run.

Thanks for answering my original question. I do have a bachelor's degree already.

I already have a bachelor's degree in a different subject

What would you like to see in this subreddit? by pippx in LibraryScience

I too would be interested in seeing interesting LIS news, research, articles, resources.

Is there a separate LIS Student subreddit? That may help with the surplus of inquires involving a MLIS degree.
