How will employers know if a librarian is certified?
The New York State Education Department currently lists the names of licensed and certified individuals on its web site for a wide range of professions. This is public information, which is made available for the public’s protection. The lists are used by potential employers and the general public to determine if an individual is appropriately licensed or certified to practice their profession in New York State, as required by law and regulation. The State Library has provided the names of approved holders of public librarian professional certificates on its web site since 2007. All privacy and security issues are handled in accordance with the New York State Education Department’s Internet Privacy and Security Policy.
