[Libs-Or] Libs-Or - Fast-track MLIS Program Designed for Library Leaders

[Miriam Rigby]

I don't know about all y'all, but I earned my library degree in a 
non-accelerated program in 20 months... 22 if you count the summer when 
I wasn't taking any classes. Granted, I was only working about 20 hours 
a week - not full time. But if I spread the courses out over an extra 3 
summer terms, I could have managed... So how is this an "accelerated" 
program?

Earn Your MLIS Degree in 26 Months! Are you currently working in a 
library leadership position and you are ineligible for promotional 
opportunities because you don't hold a Master of Library and Information 
Science (MLIS) degree? Do you need an accelerated MLIS program that is 
focused on leadership, so you don't have to go back to the basics in 
order to earn your graduate degree? If this scenario rings true for you 
or someone you know, the fully-online Executive MLIS program at the San 
Jose State University School of Library and Information Science may be 
the solution to achieving your career goals. The Executive MLIS program 
is a specialized cohort within the School's ALA-accredited MLIS program. 
It is designed for experienced information professionals who do not 
currently hold an MLIS degree and would like to study the core 
competencies of librarianship from a leadership perspective.
