That's not the kind of position that has a formal set of qualifications. It has more to do with local knowledge and experience.

Wow, I can't believe there's an actual NOC code for that.

Look deep enough, and there is a NOC code for every job. For example search for farmer and see the various descriptions.

of course, local knowledge is very important for every kind of job, but being a librarian is a serious thing like being a manager and if you want to be a librarian, you have to graduate from university in master degree. actually mostly master degree is not enough for being a manager or a specialist...
i hope you would break your prejudice...

I know that a reference librarian pretty much requires a Masters. I have a family member who was a reference librarian for 8 years. I just didn't know it was a specific field of study.

I am not prejudiced.
