[Sca-librarians] Jobs in Libraries

[Loren D Mendelsohn]

Speaking from my experience as "lifer" (20+ years) in 
academic librarianship, plus my current experience of 
serving on my library's executive (hiring, promotion, and 
tenure) committee:

I'd suggest that you consider eventually picking up a 
second masters degree, which is extremely helpful if 
you're job hunting in the academic world.  Many colleges 
and universities require 2nd masters for tenure and 
promotion and tend to look more kindly on applicants that 
already have the extra degree than those who don't.
