re : Uneducated librarians

[Joanne Proctor <jmproctor@CJNETWORKS.COM>]

Hello,
    Just a reminder that not every state requires an MLS for school
librarians.  Kansas, for instance does not, although I do have the MLS.
Several years ago in attempting to influence our state board of education I
did a "down and dirty" survey from this group to see what was required in
various states.  It seemed there were almost as many variations of
requirements as there are states!!  Don't ask me what I did with the
results!  I got a new computer and may or may not have the data stored on a
disk somewhere.
   My personal opinion is that my School Library Media course, which was not
required for the MLS,  was more useful than many of my LMS classes, and
quite frankly, I learned most of the "nuts and bolts" from years of
volunteering in my kids' school library and observing that librarian.
