Re: Is a Master’s Degree in Library Science a Poor Investment? A Counter Perspective to Forbes Magazine

Let me start by saying that I love my career! I love being a librarian, I love learning and sharing information. I love the organization of information and all that that means. I however do think that my MLIS was a unnecessary investment. I liked library school well enough and certainly did learn things, but nothing I learned in school prepared me for my job as a librarian or information professional. All that I learned about being a librarian and research and cataloging and technology I learned on the job. I think that the fact that some librarians feel that only those with an MLIS should be called 'librarian' is silly.

As with most organized education, the work you do in library school will give you a nice background, but will not prepare you for what's ahead. So if you like the idea of getting that MLIS I say go for it, but try and get some practical experience in there as well because it's that experience that will be invaluable.

I would want to meet my paternal great grandmother so I can ask her what the family name really was before they left Italy and why they felt the need to change it (hiding from the law? just looking for a change?)
