Intelligence study and intelligence degree programs are typically
designed to prepare students to understand the dynamic threats
facing one's country in an uncertain security environment. While
some intelligence degree programs are topical or thematic in
nature, such as those which focus specifically on terrorism, other
programs focus on the analytics behind intelligence analysis, thus
helping to develop students' critical thinking skills. Such
programs concentrate on one or more function within intelligence
operations: collection, analysis, counterintelligence, and/or
covert action. Well- rounded intelligence degree programs encompass
the art and science of how intelligence professionals employ
analytic and operational tradecraft to achieve their goals and
objectives.

3. Librarian Career and Job Description
Since automation has become so common within libraries, it is
important that librarians are skilled in database searching.
Librarians are responsible for the development and indexing of
databases as well as instructing patrons how to efficiently search
through and located needed reference materials Thus librarians need
to understand how to utilize all types of resources in the search
for desired materials.
Those skilled in computers and information systems might be
employed as automated-systems librarians, involved in the planning
and operation of computer systems, or as information architect
librarians, who design information storage and retrieval systems
and develop techniques for the collection, organization,
interpretation, and classification of information. These librarians
work on analyzing and planning for information needs that might
arise in the future.
An increasing number of librarians are utilizing their information
management and research skills in fields beyond libraries, like
database development, reference tool development, information
systems, publishing, internet coordination, marketing, web content
management and design, and training of database users. Librarians
with entrepreneurial desires might found their own consulting firm,
or work as freelance librarian or information brokers for other
corporations, government agencies, or libraries.

7. "If we try to resolve terrorism with military might and
nothing else," Mortenson said, "we will be no safer than we were
before 9/11. If we truly want a legacy of peace for our children,
we need to understand that this is a war that will ultimately be
won with books, not with bombs."
