“…Several Library and Information Studies/Science (LIS) professional positions seek MLIS graduates with STEM and applied science backgrounds and experiences, most notably in science, technology, engineering, and similar subject-specific academic librarian positions (Beck & Callison, 2006;Eells, 2006;Fritzler, 2006;Hallmark & Lembo, 2003;Kuruppu, 2006;Lo et al, 2015;Raszewski, 2011;Sterner, 2020).
