Dear Bayan,

It sounds like a difficult question to reply because of the little available. Are there women wearing hijab working at libraries and other institutions where you live? If so, you should ask them. Or are you planning to move to the US and your question was related to the job market there? If it’s the second, again, it’s a difficult question – many organization have as a policy to hire people from minorities, but I wouldn’t guarantee anything.

It seems to me that you may want to continue your research by asking people you know, but then again, it’s just my idea.

Best,
Julia

It looks like there was some great information links on this page at one time, but I tried 4 links, starting at the top and they are all broken.

Courses like algebra would be part of your undergraduate degree. What you need to take will depend on the major you choose.

do the 36 credit hours needed to get a masters in library and information science include the basic courses like college algebra and such? or do I not have to take those because I’ll be going into a graduate program?
