More than you think. It's not really about the schools admitting you, after all if you get get good test scores and have a good grades and can pay for it, most universities should be quite happy to have you.
It's what happens in the 'real' world after that can be problematic.

Masters of Library Science, specializing in medical librarianship. I'd like at some point to leave the medical librarian field and move over to the social sciences field of librarianship. My B.A. was in history, and if I can survive getting the Mls, I'd like to eventually go for a MA in International relations.
After this is accomplished I will be near retirement age!

My friend helped pay for his sisters Masters in Education. After five years of teaching (elementary) she has realized she does not want to do that. Luckily for her, the Tulsa school disctrict is paying for her Mls, so she now works in the library, working with the teachers on the educational materials.
I think the people at work are beginning to realizes librarians are cool, and can help save your ass when you wait until the last minute to do your papers, can't find articles, and then we sit down with you and in five minutes on a database or two we've found just what you needed.

That shit she pulled was just really, really vicious.
It was nothing but a reprehensible public display of envy over a younger woman's perky points.
It must be horrible to realize your looks are gone and you've neglected your personality for so many years you have nothing left but ugly inside.

Why do people look at Althouse's blog? I mean, I looked at Powerline a few times and found it so offensive and infuriating I never went back. Why read Althouse, unless you're looking to be offended?

Buckeye, an MLS is one of the things I had considered as an advanced degree. I did look into UT's program and it is apparently quite good. I'd just like to figure out how close it is to an MIS degree (they look like kin) as so much of it involves database management.
I should look again....
Hellkitty | 09.16.06 - 10:53 pm
MLS/MIS can indeed be kin, Michigan has both programs, as do other schools.
I will be doing mine online, I just have to decide 'where' do I want to go and who will have me. And do I want the MLS or the MIS?

Excellent guess, because the Romans were big on threes, and correct!

Arabia Petra (rocky Arabia, what is now Jordan)

Luckily for her, the Tulsa school disctrict is paying for her Mls, so she now works in the library, working with the teachers on the educational materials.
Tee-hee.... My Mummy, Tulsey-born and bred, got her MLS from UCLA in 1968, eventually becoming one of the Regional Childrens Librarians for LAPL. About two days ago I got a note from one of her great friends demanding that we all have a reunion, because they'd just finished marrying off the daughter of one of the Librarians Mummy trained and realised how much they all owed to her.... So, I'm off to the land of LAPL'dom next month - they're all of them deeply strange, but it'll be nice to hear again how much they esteemed her.

Jorge Luis Borges writes of a Chinese encyclopedia that divided animals into
a) those that belong to the Emperor
b) embalmed ones
c) those that are trained
d) suckling pigs
e) mermaids
f) fabulous ones
g) stray dogs
h) those that are included in this classification
i) those that tremble as if they were mad
j) innumerable ones
k) those drawn with a very fine camel's hair brush
l) others

Hellkitty, Actually, a literary agent serves as a buffer between the publisher and the author. They present an author's material and if it is accepted, serve as an intermediary between the two.
I have a small publisher with zero dollars for promotion. What I really and truly need is book promotion company. Someone who can present the material to the media, important reviewers, and such.
But they cost a lot of money -something I am not exactly rolling in. (I would certainly be interested in a percentage sharing, but most are not.)
With a small publisher there really is quite a bit of money in royalities - if we could sell some. The novel, for example, offers 30% to the author. (an almost unheard of bunch of money) but it does little good if your sales numbers in the double digits. . . .
I once had this idea of having people promote the books - if they honestly liked them - on their websites. Hell, I could offer a dollar or two for every sale. But no one seems much interested.
It is a problem that I have not found a solution for.
