Hi, I'm currently an MLS student trying to find my place in librarianship, so I'm researching different career paths. I have a personal interest in criminology, so I've considered going down the law librarianship route, but I'm not sure if I want to go back to school to get my JD. And, honestly, general law doesn't really interest me. I recently discovered criminology libraries, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for starting/finding a career in that field. Also, how hard is it to find a job in that field? Are there other job opportunities for someone with an MLS and a specialization in criminology besides working in a special/academic library?
Are there any other degrees that are required (besides an MLS)? I have a B.A. and M.A. in English, so I was wondering if this sort of niche library position would even be an option for me considering how specialized it is.
Thank you!
