Hi, Lisa!

I don't know about *better* particularly, but my non-ALA Master of
Science and Library Science leans very heavily toward educational media
and technology.  With one more 3-hour television course instead of
reference materials, I would have had a Master of Science in Educational
Media and TEchnology.

As it's turned out, the educational media and technology training have
enhanced the library courses.  I use ALL of it and wish I had more!

Personal:  Are you still in touch with some of our Washington colleagues?
