PART 2

3.0 Training

3.1 Where can I earn a degree in librarianship?
Will Manley wrote in one of his books that there are about 50 library 
schools in the U.S., but every state does not have a library school. If 
someone sends me a current American (or other) list of schools  that offer 
professional degrees, I will add it here. An old (1988 _Library Journal_) 
list of American schools lists the following:
Alabama, Albany, Arizona, Atlanta, Brigham Young, Buffalo, California 
(Berk. and L.A.), Catholic, Chicago, Clarion, Drexel, Emporia, Florida 
State, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kent State, Kentucky, Long Island, 
Louisiana State, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, NC Central, 
NC Greensboro, Northern Illinois, North Texas State, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, 
Queens, Rhode Island, Rosary, Rutgers, St. Johns, Simmons, South Carolina, 
S. Connecticut, South Florida, Syracuse, Texas (Austin), Texas Women's, 
Washington, Wayne State and Wisconsin (Mad. & Milw.).

Below is a list of Canadian library schools (most of which require a 
4-year Bachelor's degree with an A average):
