[PW] Library Schools--online or in person?

[Borg, Matthew]

Hi Sam

the jobs section of the New York Public Library has a bit of information about what is needed to work there.  There are Librarian jobs, which require "We require an ALA accredited Master's degree in Library and Information Studies" and Librarian In Training jobs which look suitable for people trying to get into the profession.  

The site is here; http://www.nypl.org/jobs/  and you may find it useful

Hello all!

A personal question. My passion has always been books and one of my loftiest career goals has been to become a reference librarian for the New York Public Library.

I already have a BA degree and MA in Education.

1) Do I need to have a Master's in Library Science to get something like my dream job?

2) If so, (and I assume yes) is there more respect given to live programs V. online programs?

Help is appreciated.

Sam
