[LM_NET] Hit: Schools that offer Ph.D's in Library Science

[Sam DiMartino <sam.dimartino@GMAIL.COM>]

These are the responses I have gotten so far to my question about schools
that offer a Ph.D. in Library Science.

Georgia <mrsgharding@yahoo.com>

I have recently graduated from the University of North
Texas. The SLIS department has to be the best in the
country. I looked at several schools in Mo, Tn, and
Texas to find the one I wished to spend my money. The
Masters was also almost entirely on-line. UNT does
offer a "Doctor of Philosophy with a Major in
Information Science." This may benefit you better than
one specifically in Library Science. They also offer
post Masters certifications in advanced library
management, storytelling, etc. You can find more
information from the UNT website at
http://www.unt.edu/ or the UNT SLIS website at
http://www.unt.edu/slis/. I was able to get a couple
of scholarships while attending. It all depends on
what you want to do with your degree. What will get
you to the place you want to be? I was halfway to a
Masters in Ed. Tech. with a reading specialist
certification when I decided the Masters in Library
Science would benefit me more. I may finish the MET
after my children move out and I have the financial
means, but it isn't necessary to work in the areas I
want to work because I am a certified teacher in
several areas including English/ESL/Reading in Texas.
However with NCLB the issues are literacy across the
curriculum/disciplines which is moving across the
nation with national standards. If you have any
questions, please email me at mrsgharding@yahoo.com.
Best Wishes in your endeavor!
