New 60-Second Survey: What is the Value of an MLIS to you?

Published by Michelle on May 20, 2011 in Academic Libraries, Public Libraries, School Libraries, Special Libraries and institutional libraries. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , .

On behalf of the Library Research Service:

In 2008 Library Research Service (LRS) launched our first 60-second survey, “What is the Value of an MLIS to You?,” in response to lively discussions about this topic on various listservs. Close to 2,000 library professionals weighed in, with over 1,000 leaving thoughtful comments about the MLIS degree. Three years later, as libraries and the environments in which they serve continue to change and evolve, LRS wondered how has the value of an MLIS fared?

LRS has launched a new 60-Second Survey on the value of an MLIS to you. Do you feel your MLIS degree was/is worth the time and money invested in it? If asked today, would you recommend pursuing an MLIS degree? You tell us.

Take the 60-Second Survey on the Value of an MLIS Degree to You

Please pass this on to your colleagues-locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

On behalf of Rochelle Logan:caldarkmedium

It has been quite a few years since CAL conducted a survey to ask you if the association is meeting your needs.  With the Board in the midst of writing a strategic plan, we decided it was time to put our finger on the pulse and find out what you want from CAL. Not only are we looking for feedback from our members, but non-members as well. Please take 5 minutes to answer this short questionnaire. It is very important that we hear from you as we plan for our future.
