A Master's degree in Library Science will prepare students for a wide variety of careers in a traditional library setting and also makes graduates eligible to work for organizations that require information management skills. In recent years, the emphasis of the Master's degree in Library Science has shifted towards the technological. Advancements in how information is obtained and secured have required the MLS student to study databases and information architecture. As a result, this has broadened the range of possible career choices for a MLS student. Some of these careers now include database specialists, webmasters and web developers, systems analysts and local area network (LAN) coordinators."
