Re: Uneducated librarians...

[Su Epstein <SuE@GFACADEMY.ORG>]

Sigh.  I was going to keep quiet on this... and while I still am sitting
on my hands... I thought there was one other tid bit to this I'd add...

        To preface - I came to librarianship (entered school for my MLS)
AFTER having a Ph.D. and other degrees in another disciplines and
teaching college for 10 years.
        You might find it interesting to know that as long as you have
an MA in something you can teach college.  Your MA doesn't have to be in
the subject you teach.  Most college professors have NO training in
teaching, education, how to manage or organize a class - and often the
subject you are assigned to teach you might not have even ever had a
course in!

        I just thought in light of this discussion - some of you might
find that interesting...
