Librarians everywhere hate me

Interesting discussion. I have been thinking about an MLS for the bast couple of weeks. It goes well with Art History but not as well with Business.

Actually, an MLS can go very well with business, particularly if you persue a Special Libraries track. Corporate libraries tend to be very different than public and academic libraries but many of them would find a business background very useful.

Prudence, I did my undergraduate at UW and spent four years working the third floor serials desk on the closing shift (without librarian supervision so I got a lot of good ref desk experience as an undergrad. Ah, the memories of rousting sleepers out of the reading room at 12:30 in the morning. I would have gone to the school at UW, but my ex-wife was going to go there so I decided on the University of Hawaii program instead. She would have been there 96-98 so it sounds like it is unlikely you knew her.
