楼主
1. 我的专科的GPA是3.4,本科的GPA是80,研修班的GPA是86, 这3个都是图书馆学专业.能符合加拿大的图书馆学专业研究生入学要求吗?我目前在SENECA COLLEGE (TORONTO)的GPA不高,只有3.主要本身不难的专业课间操题目有时出题容易误解,做错题.
2. 英语的要求是TOEFL600,写作是5.5/6.我看到有报道说有人写推荐信有免TOEFL的可能.你看具体怎样做?
谢谢.
我就是楼主,你可去多大此专业问一下.没听说有人写推荐信有免TOEFL的可能.我是MCGILL读完一个MA再去申请的MLIS,MCGILL教授写的推荐,照样要TOEFL.

按多大要求,因为你读的专业一直是图书馆,所以不够申请MLS的条件.加拿大MLS申请本科一定要有专业(SUBJECT).
多大入学要求:

Master of Information Studies (MISt)

Applicants to the Master of Information Studies (MISt) program must have a four-year Bachelor’s degree with at least a B average (3.0 GPA) from a university approved by the University of Toronto. An academic level of B+ (3.3 GPA) or higher in the final year is generally held by successful applicants.
The Bachelor’s degree must normally contain at least fifteen full academic credits, that is, courses that are not professional, practical, technical or vocational. Undergraduate courses such as studio art, drama or music performance, theology, education or library science are not normally considered to be academic in content for admission purposes.

Academic Record

Candidates for the MLIS must hold a four-year Bachelor's Degree with at least a second class standing (B average, 3.0 GPA) from a university recognized by the Senate of Dalhousie University. An academic level of a high B+ (3.3 GPA) or better is generally held by successful applicants.



Transcripts

At least two copies of the applicant’s official transcripts of academic record from each university attended are to be sent by each issuing institution directly to SIM. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that all transcripts are sent.



English Language Competency
Candidates whose mother tongue is NOT English are required to demonstrate a working and a reading knowledge of English. A TOEFL score of 600 (250 for computerized testing, or a score of 100 on the TOEFL Internet-based Test (TOEFL IBT) and 5.5 for the TWE, a MELAB score of 95, an IELTS score of 8.0, a CAEL score of 70, or the General Certificate in Education in the English Language at the Ordinary or Advanced Level are acceptable.



References
The Admissions and Scholarships Committee requires two academic letters of reference. Additional work references may be provided. Applicants who have been out of university for over 5 years may substitute professional/work references for the academic references, although at least one academic reference is strongly encouraged.



Essay

In a 3 - 6 page essay, discuss the following points:

Tell us about your MLIS Program goals. How will SIM help you achieve them?

What are the strengths you would bring to the MLIS Program and to the IM profession?

Opportunities to perform management functions and to assume leadership roles abound in the IM field. Explain your perception of these opportunities, and how they will shape your future as a professional.

Most professional occupations rely on team work. Demonstrate how your participation on a team has contributed to the success of a team’s objective.

New information technologies shape changes in the profession. How do you view technological advancements affecting you as a student? As a professional?

The IM field is a dynamic and changing environment; provide evidence of your adaptability in a changing context.

Describe how your prior work experience (part-time or full-time; paid or voluntary) in any setting has shaped your MLIS goals.

Explain any gaps or deficiencies in your academic record, or any other factors you wish to have taken into account



Résumé

Please include a current résumé.





Interview

In some cases, the Admissions and Scholarships Committee arranges an interview of a candidate by an information professional. This provides the opportunity to discuss any points which may be of concern. The School's Program Coordinator interviews those candidates in the Halifax area; the School's alumni are sometimes asked to interview out-of-province applicants who reside in their areas.



Personal and Professional Attributes
To achieve its objectives, the School seeks to recruit the person who:

Is a potential leader in the field of information management
Brings a passion for service to all information management roles
Is a critical thinker who continually examines their own assumptions about the information professions
Demonstrates a commitment to the values of the information professions and an understanding of societal values affecting the organization, retrieval, evaluation and use of information and ideas
Draws upon prior work experience gained in any setting


Computer Skills
Incoming students must have a working knowledge of personal computers, word processing, e-mail and Internet use. These skills are essential for most courses and must be acquired before the beginning of the program. They will not be taught at the school.

SIM operates in a Windows XP environment on a Novell network, with Microsoft Office for the principle applications.

Desirable basic skills
Experience with:

presentation software (e.g., PowerPoint)
spreadsheet software (e.g., Excel)
database software (e.g., Access)
graphics manipulation software (e.g., Photoshop, PhotoPaint)
Experience using Drawing Toolbar objects in MS Word

我今天去了图书馆,刚好有位大叔在问工作人员, 据说那个工作人员在做PART-TIME,大约20元多一小时哦,好多呢~~

后来我就去问他,入这行有什么要求吗?
他说一是博士,或者要求读过相关的几个专业.
难道就是你所说的专业吗?

知道大约要读多久?多少钱吗?
