  • If you have not done so already, please fill out our survey. Filling this out will give us an idea of what programming you would like to see from RASL in the coming semester.
  • Points of interest for the school librarianship track - did you know that if you become a certified school librarian you can also work as a teen/youth/chldren's librarian in a public library?
  • Please note that the SL track at Rutgers is very structured but will give you a great overview of librarianship.
  • Don't forget you will need to take three educational courses in addition to the library courses to become certified
  • Field experience is required for the SL track
  • For more information see the rest of this website and refer to the Advising Wiki.
