回复: 图书馆专业申请和就业形势指南

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?
请翻看我前面的帖子。
 

好的心态

楼主,如果我想在加拿大读个本科,什么专业比较合适,可以方便将来考MLS,但相比容易学.谢谢.主要是GPA要过3啊.
本科,你可读商科,电脑,会计,很多选择了,这样读出来就可工作了,还读MLS干吗?当然你想读也无妨.

我只是想读MLS, 但国内的学位还是图书馆学,你说不算SUBJECT去申请MLS,想到只好可能读本地的DEGREE.这是一个办法吗?
只是多大有这个规定,你可申请其他学校的MLS,或你国内如是信息管理不就混过去了.

首先谢谢楼主的无私帮助。花了一晚上研读所有历史记录,获益匪浅。现仍有若干问题请教。
1、本人专业是中文,在国内一直从事新闻工作,新移蒙特利尔,可以申请MLIS吗?是否必须GPA过3,雅思7。5以上?
2、正如楼主所说,图书馆这工薪水未见得有多高,但是稳定,主流,置身于知识的氛围,吾心向往之。如硬杠杠不够,又执迷不悟,有什么变通的可能吗?直接找导师成吗?
3、理想究竟高远,如申请不上,像我这样专业背景的人又不愿转行(转相关人文或社会科学还行,改行做电工、机械师、会计什么的就有点为难了,不是瞧不上实是干不了),想在人文圈子里混,学什么专业好呢?学到什么程度好呢?要交代的是一把年纪了,孩子也有了,英语一般般。
4、在一切都无望的情况下是否最好的结局就是抓紧攻一点语言,再学一个TRAINING,找一份稳定的工完了?
5、如果不计未来的回报,且把成本控制在安全线以下,不致妻儿衣食无着,埋头读几年书值得吗?
请抽空回答这几个傻瓜问题。

在蒙特利而有两个学校可申请,对你就一个,就是MCGILL,因为U OF MONTREAL是法语课程.如你GPA不高,鸭试没有7.5以上的话,申请成功的可能性不大.
想在人文圈子里混,可学EAST ASIAN STUDIES,读PHD,LOAN & BURSARY 加上TEACHING ASSISTANT全家生活应该没有问题.读出来就是去大学做教授,能不能找到工作要看运气.

谢谢楼主的提醒,我查了本科的毕业证书,上面写的专业是:图书馆学(信息管理),翻译就是LIBRARY SCIENCE(INFORMATION MANAGEMENT).不知道这样能不能混过去.
那你试一下其他大学如DALHOUSIE.

因为MLS的研究生是以COURSE的形式修完课程,无需论文,所以没有导师.只有ADVISOR,但几乎他不过问你的学习,但你毕业时可找他写工作推荐信.
如能到大学工作,待遇还是不错的.比如我们耶鲁,薪水比哈佛低一些,但NEW HAVEN的消费也没BOSTON高.在NEW ENGLAND地区算中等.但工作五年后达LIBRARIAN 3.薪水在9-10万左右.

谢谢楼主的赐教。不好意思,还要“骚扰”几个问题:
1、因无读书深造的打算,也就从未算过本科成绩。今晚闲来无事,精算了一下:GPA3。2(85分),后两年3。5(88分)。但本人出身非名校,虽授几门专业主课(现代汉语、现代文学史、古代文论等)的教授来自北大,录取时不会受歧视吧?另,成绩单上一些是选修课,如英文打字、文艺写作等,只分合格不合格,这如何算分?不会算60吧?
2、说实话,本人最差的是英语。雅思7。5对我这样基础的人是否比登天还难?通过新东方能突击上去吗?听说麦大有个英语班,读了这课修到一定学分,可充雅思成绩。有这事吗?
3、假定英语过了关,GPA也没问题(前帖说3。6才有录取可能),还需要什么材料呢?至少三位教授的推荐信?其他呢?
4、本人是魁移,所以法语也学过,有法盟(ALLIANCE FRANCAISE DE PEKIN)高级班证书,虽然水平不高。蒙大有什么与中文相关的文科专业可学吗?
5、基于上述背景,请问楼主再给掌掌舵:我这种人可造吗?图书馆、东亚研究或其它什么专业,哪个更好呢?
很多过来人告诫说在国外文科学历越高前途越黯淡,看了楼主的帖子才知道求学这条道也并非一定是条死胡同。十多年前读书时北大老师就强烈建议我继续读研,但生性懒散,尤怵英语和政治,就干报纸去了。料不到今日身处异国他乡,又萌发了求知的欲望。这当然要谢谢楼主的指引了。
“选职业,首先是要热爱它。”信哉斯言!

图书馆工作就是和人交流,所以对语言要求比较高.既然你法语也行,可试试蒙大.蒙大录取不象MCGILL那样难.
还有要准备的材料就是写一份你为什么要读这个专业的STATEMENT,介绍一下你是谁?为何要读这个专业?你怎么知道这个专也和学校的?你的学习计划,你的CAREER GOALS.一张纸,写成求职信的格式,准备一份简历.具体材料要求请到MCGILL和蒙大的图书馆与信息管理学院的ADMISSION里看.

MLIS Admission Requirements
Admission Requirements
As space is limited, it is strongly suggested that application to the MLIS program at GSLIS be made as early as possible.

There are four requirements in order to be admitted to the Master of Library and Information Studies degree:

Applicants must have a bachelor's degree from a recognized university. Academic standing of at least a B, or second class, upper division, or CPGA of 3.0 out of 4.0 is normally required.

The School will take into account the character of the applicants' undergraduate studies and their suitability for a career in library and information services.

Courses in library and/or information studies taken before or as part of a B.A., or such courses taken in a school with a program not accredited by the American Library Association, cannot be accepted either as fulfilling the entrance requirement or as credit toward the McGill MLIS.

Applicants with a Bachelor's degree completed solely or primarily in a language other than English or French are required to submit documented proof of competency in oral and written English prior to admission.

Such proof normally comprises the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 600 (paper-based test) or 250 (computer-based test), with a written score of at least 5.0 for either test, 100 (IBT Internet based TOEFL) with a written score of at least 25 and a reading, speaking, and listening score of not less than 20, or the International English Language testing System (IELTS) with a minimum overall band score of 7.5

Applicants whose mother tongue is not English may be asked to demonstrate an English-language competency beyond the submission of the TOEFL or IELTS scores.就是说会有电话面试.

Competency in the use of computers is expected. GSLIS uses Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP based operating systems on a Novell network. It is essential that students be familiar with file management and the Microsoft Office 2003 suite, especially Word 2003, PowerPoint 2003, Excel 2003 and Access 2003. It is also desirable that students be familiar with computer programming and statistics.

Previous library experience, while not essential, will be given consideration in assessing an application but cannot replace academic requirements.

If the file is reviewed without the final transcripts there will be a condition of acceptance on the official decision form that must be completed.

Students who have acquired a McGill degree do not have to submit official transcripts.

Cash and personal cheques will not be accepted - they will be returned and the file left unprocessed until an acceptable method of payment is received.

A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required for the MLIS program. Applicants must access Minerva within 30 days of the specified deadline to confirm acceptance and pay the deposit.

Payment is to be made by credit card. The $200 will be credited towards the tuition.

If the payment is not received within the specified deadline, the acceptance will be rescinded. The deposit will be forfeited if the student does not start the MLIS program.

Acceptance Confirmation - Fee Deposit - Deferrals
Confirmation of Offer of Acceptance
After receiving the official decision of acceptance from the Office of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Studies, students must access Minerva and confirm that they will be attending the MLIS program by the date indicated in the letter from GSLIS.

If confirmation is not received by the date indicated, the offer of acceptance will be rescinded and the student's file archived.

Confirmation of Fee Deposit
When students access Minerva to confirm acceptance into the MLIS program, a deposit of CDN $200 is required and is payable by credit card. This amount will be credited towards the student's tuition statement upon registration for courses. In certain circumstances, the deposit may be paid by certified cheque or money order through special arrangements with the GSLIS office.

Confirmation will only be accepted after the deposit has been received.

Students who do not register for courses or who withdraw their application, after acceptance confirmation and payment of deposit, will forfeit their deposit.

Deferrals
Students who request a one year deferral after acceptance confirmation and payment of the deposit will have their deposit held in trust until the next entry date. If acceptance is not confirmed on Minerva for that new date, the deposit will be forfeited.

再次感谢楼主的热心肠。不管今后走了什么方向,失败还是成功,今晚对我都具有纪念意义。因我遇到了一位同路人――以求知为人生的最高乐趣――虽我不能与楼主比肩,很难说能否沿着这个梯子爬上学术的殿堂,但有了精神上的沟通于我也就心满意足了。
