GEN: Grad Schools

[Rebekah Agner <rebaagner@MSN.COM>]

Dear Wonderful and Wise Librarians,

I have entered the field of School Media Specialist this year via lateral
entry.  I took one class over the summer and am currently enrolled in
another.  These classes (as well as the MLS program) are offered online.
Lately, I have been thinking about going back to school full time next year
in order to complete my MLS.  Thus, I wouldn't have to juggle grad classes
as well as managing my media center.  I would also get to see the people
that I am in class with as well as my professor.

My questions for you are:

1. Would you recommend completing a MLS degree while working or would you
recommend going to school full time and finishing it in a year?

2. Did anyone go to the University of Maryland - College Park or Univeristy
of Texas - Austin to complete their MLS?  If so, could you please give me
some information about their programs?  (I am thinking about moving.)

3. Are there any universities or colleges that have extremely strong
programs for School Media?

Thank you as always,

Rebekah Agner, Media Specialist
Parkwood Elementary School
