Now, i'm a Librarian. Working in PHS1 USM Penang. Will describe to what it is, how's to be it and the job scope.

Firt of all what is LIBRARIAN?

A librarian is an information professional trained in library and information science, which is the organization and management of information services or materials for those with information needs. [From wiki]

That the answer from the wiki sitelah. People (malaysian) always have their mind set that librarian works is just shelving all the books in the shelve wright? nod.gif

Now to the best part if the LIBRARIAN career. How's about the salary?

Now, for government this is their basic salary with their academic qualifications.

Degree Only S41: Libraian
Diploma Only S27: Assistant Libraian

This is for Private Sector [Base on my experience]

Diploma In Library Science - Basic= Rm1000+OT= 1300++
Degree In Library Science - Basic=Rm1200-1800+OT=RM2500++ or more?

If you have more info please add in.

Thanks smile.gif

Now, for government this is their basic salary with their academic qualifications.

Diploma In Library Science- S27 Basic = RM1204.55 + Elaun  =  RM1844.55
Degree In Library Science  - S41 Basic =RMR1869.79 + Elaun  = RMRM2719.79

This is for Private Sector [Base on my experience]

Diploma In Library Science - Basic= Rm1000+OT= 1300++
Degree In Library Science -  Basic=Rm1200-1800+OT=RM2500++

Will post another tomorrow, which university have Library course etc etc.

Would that be private or public sector you're working at? I wanted to be a librarian when I was in school but then I changed to finance blush.gif

Hi all need some information here,
I plan to do Master in library soon. My degree is in Comp Science. After I completed my Master, will the company give me salary according to my Master or they will give salary according to entry level because I have no experience working as librarian before?

Currently I work in education line and will really like to switch career.
