I’m interested in this as well.

"The old idea of the librarian as a sort of recluse closeted with his books and
interested only in them is the very antithesis of the modern librarian, who
must live with people equally with books, and who must also be keenly aware
of all that is going on in the world around him."
~Linda A. Eastman~ (Head Librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, 1918 to 1938)

Subject: [CASL-L] Current CT School Media Certification Programs
Hello all,
I'm a current Media Center Assistant, planning on going back to school to get my Masters and certification to became a Library Media Specialist. I was wondering what your thoughts are about current certification programs in Connecticut. Since SCSU has lost their accreditation, things seem a bit more tricky. I'm trying to find a program part-time or online since I would like to stay at my current position.
Do any of you have thoughts on current programs to obtain the CT School Media Certification? I've been looking at University of Rhode Island and Fairfield University. They both have blended programs of online and in-person classes. I know people who have done their MLS entirely online. However, I don't know if you can do a MLS with the certification online.
Do you think it would be more advantageous to get a Master's in Library Science or Educational Technology? I would appreciate any feedback on the subject that any of you have. Feel free to email me directory as well at eziemba@wethersfield.me. Thank you!
