∙ 11y agoIt depends on the type of library and the specific position. Academic libraries, for example, will require a Master of Library and Information Studies degree for a librarian position. Some positions within academic libraries may require a second masters degree in another field.
Libraries also hire those with Library Technician diplomas, which is a two year degree. Positions such as Pages may not require any degree, though a high school diploma is typically preferred.

What qualification are the Librarians?
Almost all librarians have a Master of Library and Information Studies degree. Academic librarians (i.e. those that work in a university library) often have two master's degrees - one in library science and one in another subject (e.g.english). The position of Library Assistant usually only requires a Library Technician diploma.
What is the difference between the work of shelvers library assistants library technicians and librarians?
Shelvers will mainly do just that--shelve recently-returned or newly-arrived books, videos, CDs, DVDs, etc. They tend not to work directly with the public (although they might help a patron in the shelves who can't find his/her item). It's generally the most entry-level position at many libraries. Library technicians and assistants usually have a broad range of responsibilities that can often be quite close to the job a librarian performs. The range of duties can vary greatly, depending on just where the technician works within the library. In order to be a librarian, you generally have to have a master's degree in Library Science (also often called Library & Information Science). The idea is that the degree will give you a more in-depth knowledge of library issues and give you a more specialized set of skills than you might just pick up on the job as a technician. Naturally, there's a lot of discussion within the profession as to the real differences between skilled technicians and librarians. The American Library Association maintains a very good site at the related link.

For these positions, a library science degree is not required. Otherwise, most other positions require a Master of Library and Information Sciences (MLIS) degree.
