http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_for_librarianship :
The normal preparation for a faculty member in a department of library science (or other name) is a Ph.D. in
Library science or
Information science.
In some fields of librarianship, a Ph.D. in another related subject,
such as archival studies, is the equivalent, and some faculty have
doctorates in various subject fields, as well as an MLS (or similar)
degree.
United States and Canada
In the United States and Canada, a librarian normally has a one or two-year
master's degree in
library and information science,
library science or
information science (called an MLS, MSLS, MIS, MS-LIS, MISt, MI, MLIS, or MILS) from an accredited university. These degrees are accredited by the
American Library Association (ALA) and can have specializations within fields such as
archives,
records management,
information architecture,
information policy, knowledge management, public librarianship, medical
librarianship, law librarianship, special librarianship, academic
librarianship, or school (K-12) librarianship. School librarians often
are required to have a
teaching credential
and school librarian license in addition to a library science degree.
Master's degree programs for school library media specialist initial
preparation are also accredited by the National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), which ALA recognizes. Many,
if not most, academic librarians also have a second, subject-based
master's degree.
