When I got my MLIS in 2007, it was not a very technically rigorous program, and the technical classes were only meant to introduce non-technical people to systems they might eventually have to talk about in a meeting, but not work with directly.
The people I graduated with mostly went into libraries (naturally), or else went into Product Management, UX, or Information Architecture. If you want to have a contributing technical role in your future position, I urge you to ask very specific questions about curriculum of the program you consider applying to!

That's good to know, thank you. Really this is more of a what-if thought experiment than anything serious right now.
