Library school

I've been researching the various library schools in the UK, thanks to the OWL website. (I was rather naive, assuming that since Oxford and Cambridge didn't have degrees in Library Science, there must not be any other library schools in the UK. Silly.) Anyway, I'm determined to do whatever I can to attend school there. If it doesn't work out, then I'll try for the University of Maryland, but I'd really really really like to go to school in England. :) I'm considering a year as a "graduate trainee" at either Oxford or University College London, and then another year getting the MA in Library & Information Studies at UCL. We'll see.

I'm glad that you found the OWL website useful. I am a current graduate trainee at Oxford and am working on improving and updating the site this year. Soon there will be lots more information about librarianship careers, the trainee posts in Oxford (more have been added this year) and about Oxford itself - please check back later!

Have you looked at the other graduate schemes in the UK? There are lots of academic and commercial libraries which participate across the country - check CILIP.

Thanks! :) I've seen the CILIP website but haven't really read through it in detail. Since it'll soon be time to apply for the trainee program and then for grad school, I guess I'd better start spending more time looking into it...
