Why Library Science
Is A Vital Program
Cleveland County schools be
gan with seven librarian and
teacher - librarian positions
unfilled, and they are still un
filled. And yet hundreds of
teachers graduating last year
could not be placed. Education
majors do themselves the favor
of being more certain of job
placement when they get
certification as librarians or
teacher-librarians.
Gardner-Webb’s new library
science program will help fill
the pressing need for librarians
and teacher-librarians. It was
started in September, with Miss
Ann Sebastian, Reference li
brarian, teaching the course in
Introduction to Libraries and
Librarianship. This intro
ductory course is designed to
serve as a foundation course
for Library Science majors,
meet certification require
ments, and provice classroom
teachers with a workable know
ledge of library procedures.
Mrs. Sandifer will teach
Cataloging and classification in
the spring semester.
A teacher- librarian can get
certification with only 12 hours
of library science. Students
majoring in elementary educa
tion are already required to take
3 hours of library science. That
leaves only 9 hours to be added
to their program.
Frequently teachers
proficient in a second discipline
are hired above these with only
one concentration.
Those majoring in almost any
other field might find library
science helpful as a second
discipline. Only 18 hours are
required for certification as a
school-librarian.
Any student planning graduate
work will find the reference
course in library science es
pecially useful before he begins
research.
The librarians and education
professors will be glad to ans
wer any questions concerning
the library science program.
