Help in Texas
Does anyone know the min. qualification to be a librarian in Texas?  I
though you needed a deficiency plan and at least 6 hours of graduate work,
but I heard of someone beginning a new job with zero hours in the Fall, but
beginning the course work.  Really makes is hard on the others who have
worked so hard to complete course work to be able to be a good librarian.
