About 'tuscaloosa public library'|10 Ways Libraries Matter in a Digital Age | American Libraries Magazine








Across               the               entire               United               States,               there               are               fewer               than               50               colleges               and               universities               that               offer               ALA-accredited               master's               degrees               in               library               and               information               science               -               an               average               of               about               one               per               state.

Considering               how               many               public,               academic,               school,               and               special               libraries               our               country               maintains,               that's               a               fairly               short               list               of               degree               programs               relative               to               our               expansive               geography.

Some               entire               states               -               and               even               some               major               metropolitan               areas               -               lack               nearby               library               science               programs               to               train               their               information               professionals.

People               in               these               locations,               as               well               as               busy               people               already               employed               full-time,               are               beginning               to               pursue               their               library               science               degrees               with               a               handful               of               schools               that               offer               100%               online               programs.

Online               master's               degrees               have               become               extremely               popular               in               a               number               of               disciplines,               though               the               quality               of               these               programs               and               the               academic               freedom               at               the               institutions               that               offer               them               is               frequently               questionable.

Luckily,               the               American               Library               Association               remains               a               strict               body               for               accreditation,               so               all               the               online               master's               degrees               on               which               it               bestows               its               deliberate,               well-calculated               approval               are               high-quality               programs               at               "real,"               not-for-profit               colleges               and               universities               that               also               offer               conventional,               on-site               instruction               in               library               and               information               science.
               Certainly,               there               are               undeniable               advantages               to               attending               a               program               with               face-to-face               classes,               and               that               is               why               I               personally               chose               to               pursue               a               more               traditional               library               science               track               instead               of               an               online               master's               degree.

During               my               research,               though,               I               weighed               online               programs               and               found               that               many               of               them               provided               excellent               instruction,               going               to               great               lengths               to               ensure               that               their               students               received               a               quality               education.

After               all,               we               need               library               and               information               science               professionals               in               places               like               Montana,               Nebraska,               New               Mexico,               Alaska,               Delaware,               Georgia,               Nevada,               and               the               other               states               without               ALA-approved               library               programs.

And               yes,               that               accreditation               is               essential               -               it's               as               important               to               library               schools               as               ABA               accreditation               is               to               law               schools.
               As               of               early               2006,               the               following               colleges               and               universities               offer               ALA-accredited               library               and               information               science               online               master's               degrees               that               can               indeed               be               pursued               100%               online               (as               described               explicitly               by               the               ALA               directory):
               University               of               Alabama               -               Tuscaloosa,               AL               
               Southern               Connecticut               State               University               -               New               Haven,               CT               
               Florida               State               University               -               Tallahassee,               FL               
               University               of               Southern               Mississippi               -               Hattiesburg,               MS               
               Rutgers               University               -               New               Brunswick,               NJ               
               North               Carolina               Central               University               -               Durham,               NC               
               Clarion               University               of               Pennsylvania               -               Clarion,               PA               
               Drexel               University               -               Philadelphia,               PA               
               University               of               Tennessee               -               Knoxville,               TN               
               Texas               Woman's               University               -               Denton,               TX               (and               yes,               they               accept               men)               
               University               of               Wisconsin-Milwaukee               -               Milwaukee,               WI
               Other               schools,               such               as               Syracuse               University,               offer               programs               that               are               primarily               online               master's               degrees               but               that               do               require               some               face-to-face               classes.

For               details,               visit               the               American               Library               Association               website               at               www.ala.org               and               click               on               "Education               and               Careers"               or               contact               institutions               directly.

Keep               in               mind               that               out-of-state               tuition               charges               may               apply               at               some               public               institutions               should               you               choose               to               pursue               the               online               option.

However,               some               universities               maintain               tuition               reciprocity               agreements               with               states               currently               lacking               a               library               and               information               science               school.
               [Final               Note:               there               are               some               "library               science"               master's               degree               programs               out               there               designed               exclusively               for               school               library               media               specialists               and               approved               by               the               AASL               and               NCATE.

While               those               programs               are               recognized               (in               fact)               by               the               ALA,               they               are               not               necessarily               ALA-accredited               library               and               information               science               programs.

Typically,               these               niche               programs,               while               valuable,               are               not               broad               enough               to               achieve               full               ALA               accreditation               because               they               focus               only               on               school               librarians,               one               subset               of               the               profession.]
