Film and Video Librarians

Advancement Prospects

Many advancement opportunities are available to film and video librarians. Librarians who work in smaller facilities may transfer to larger libraries where opportunities for job promotions and advancement are greater. It is also possible to move from one type of library to another. A librarian at a large public library may be responsible for a vast collection of biographies, documentaries, and instructional videos covering many different topics. A film and video librarian working for a corporation or nonprofit would only collect items dealing with that organization's interests or goals.

With sufficient work experience and education, those interested in administration may work as head of a film and video department, or even as a library director.
