Re: [LM_NET] An oversupply of librarians

[Ellen Nosal <enosal@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

I cannot speak for other parts of the country, but when I decided to go to graduate 
school for library science (about 5 years ago), we were ALL told that there was a 
severe shortage of school librarians.  So much so that the state allowed 
certification via the "alternate route" method.  I don't want to stir up trouble by 
commenting on THAT program, but suffice it to say, there is a glut of school 
librarians now.  I am happy and fortunate to work for a great district, but it's 
time students were told the truth.
