Library science has come a long way in recent decades, embracing technology and reinventing what it is that libraries do. It's no wonder programs are now known as Library and Information Science. "Library and Information Science are part of one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving fields of the 21st century," the editors of Bachelor's Degree Hub write; "Modern library and information science are as close to data analytics as they are to the shushing librarian of yesteryear." As they explain, "Library science is light-years away from dusty shelves and card catalogs (though you can have that too, if it's your thing). Today library and information science are intimately combined [...] From archives to data analytics, there's a lot of potential in library and information science." A library and information science degree "can open the door for you to learn more about becoming a librarian or other capacity in which you help individuals find the information they need for their personal, professional, or academic careers," the editors explain.

Bachelor's Degree Center ranks both online and on-campus programs, since many prospective students are already working. A traditional, on-campus program "can be very diverse and with today's advanced technology, individuals can pursue this type of career working in a physical location or by working remotely." On the other hand, according to the editors, "For working adults who long for a career change, an online library and information science degree program could be an ideal choice." For working professionals looking for a leg up on the job market, "Earning your library and information science degree online gives you the flexibility that just isn't possible with an on-ground program."

Bachelor's Degree Center has been providing advice, resources, and rankings on the best traditional and online bachelor's degree programs since 2014. Completely independent and unbiased, BDC is working to be the ultimate resource for new high school graduates, working adults returning to school, and nontraditional students.
