[Genealib] Help..MLIS Student Job Research

[Elizabeth Clemons]

Our library doesn't have a Genealogy librarian, but I know that it's
becoming an increasingly popular field.  We have a couple volunteers
that come in once a week, but could definitely use more help.  They are
sometimes called Local History librarians as well.  

Good luck!

Subject: [Genealib] Help..MLIS Student Job Research

Hello!  I'm an MLIS student working on a Job Hunt Research paper and
interested in eventually working as a genealogical librarian.  I'm an
"older" student that has done extensive work on my own family history.
Can someone let me know what the job trends, prospects, desired skills,
abilities or any other information you think relevant  I have found a
few job listings that specifically ask for a "Genealogy Librarian"...how
common is that?

Thank you!!!
Lila
