Library and Information Science field gives you an informative and approachable job prospect i.e. you will learn a lot even when your academic curriculum is over. Here, you have to be a keen learner and adaptable. Though, BLISc. is a good start I would like to suggest you to opt for MLISc as well. It depends on which librarian you want to make a career. If you are looking for school librarian's job or just a start up than BLISc. is good. But, if you are looking for job in college or good academic institute then MLISc. is necessary. (MLISc. can be done full time/ part time) As well, you should look forward to clear NET or SET exam as this provides more prospects financially as well as leads you to a good position. You should consider hard work of 3-4 years which would be including for NET/ SET so that a good govt. job as a Librarian in college or so, which would be open for you. Additionally, with NET/ SET exam the age criteria in many places are less prioritized. Besides this, even if you opt only for BLISc. it is neither too low as now a days many IB schools are providing good package and prospects to librarians. Overall, it’s up to you to check your priorities and go for what is suitable for you. All the best.
