ROLE SUMMARY:
Library Science Teachers, Postsecondary are academic faculty who teach courses in library and information science at colleges and universities. They conduct research on information organization, digital literacy, and library management while training the next generation of librarians and information professionals. These educators combine advanced expertise in information science with strong teaching capabilities to prepare students for careers in libraries, archives, and information management.

DAY IN THE LIFE:
A library science professor begins their day reviewing student research proposals and providing feedback on thesis projects exploring digital preservation or metadata standards. They teach courses on information organization, database design, or library administration, leading discussions about evolving technologies in information management. Between classes, they work on research projects examining user behavior in digital libraries or the impact of artificial intelligence on information retrieval. The afternoon involves advising students on career paths in academic libraries, public libraries, or corporate information centers. They conclude by preparing course materials for upcoming lessons on emerging technologies like linked data or digital humanities tools.

WHO THRIVES:
Individuals with high Social and Investigative interests who enjoy both scholarly research and teaching excel in this field. They possess exceptional oral and written communication abilities, with strong skills in reading comprehension and critical thinking essential for analyzing complex information systems and pedagogical approaches. Successful library science educators demonstrate intellectual curiosity and dependability, staying current with rapidly evolving information technologies while maintaining consistent quality in their teaching. They thrive on helping students understand the intersection of technology, information organization, and human information needs, requiring both analytical thinking and interpersonal skills to guide future information professionals.

CAREER ENTRY:
Entry requires a doctoral degree in library science, information science, or a related field, with 65.2% of practitioners holding this credential according to education distribution data. Most begin with a Master of Library Science (MLS) degree followed by doctoral studies and often post-doctoral training. Prior experience in academic or research libraries, combined with publications in library science journals, strengthens candidacy for faculty positions.

CAREER TRAJECTORY:
Library science faculty typically advance from assistant to associate professor, then to full professor with tenure, based on research contributions, teaching excellence, and service to the profession. Some move into administrative roles such as dean of library schools or directors of university libraries, while others become consultants for library systems or information technology companies. The specialized nature of this field offers opportunities to lead major research initiatives in digital libraries, information policy, or emerging technologies in information management.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE:
The field employs 3,630 professionals nationally with a median annual wage of $80,340 according to BLS OEWS May 2025 data. Salaries range from $57,200 to $129,120, with significant geographic variation from Mississippi ($59,920) to California ($125,640), reflecting regional differences in cost of living and institutional funding. Nearly all employment (3,620 positions) occurs within educational services, primarily at universities with library science programs. The specialized nature and extensive education requirements create barriers to entry, contributing to wage stability and job security for qualified professionals.

AUTOMATION OUTLOOK:
The profession faces low automation risk due to the high-level cognitive demands of teaching, research, and curriculum development that require human expertise. While information retrieval and database management technologies continue advancing, the core activities of interpreting information for others, thinking creatively about information systems, and training future professionals remain distinctly human capabilities that benefit from rather than compete with technological advancement.
