Library and Information Technicians from Mohawk College?
Has anyone ever taken this program through Mohawk via part-time distance ed? I have some questions.
Most of the courses only take around 3 hours a week of “in-class” time, but you’re supposed to give yourself 10-15 hours per week to accomplish each of them. Did you really find they took this much time, or if not, how much time did you actually put into them?
I have no prior experience in a library. Do you think this diploma (which includes a co-op of course) could actually get me a job in the field?
Also, did you have a hard time finding a place to do your co-op at if you didn’t live in Hamilton? I’m concerned no one will take me here b/c Mohawk is in Hamilton and I’m elsewhere. (I don’t know if this is a legitimate concern or not, but it can’t hurt to ask!)
Thanks a bunch!

I am in the process of taking this course by distance ed. If you have no library experience, and if you do all the exercises in the modules, you will need 10 hours per week. You could certainly get a job in a library or in a related field but your chances are better if you live in a larger town or city. Haven’t done my co-op, (although I already work in a public library) but if there is a library near you, they will likely be glad to have an extra pair of hands so you can probably do your practicum there. Maybe ask them before you sign up. Bear in mind that if you have some university or college background you may be able to get out of doing some courses.

Will gvmnt libraries hire librarians with a MS in Library Science even if the degree is not ALA accredited?
When reading the job description for a Nashville Librarian, it says that you need a master’s degree in Library Science that is approved by the ALA (American Library Association). Here (http://agency.governmentjobs.com/nashville/default.cfm?action=viewjob&JobID=58869&hit_count=Yes&headerfooter=1&promo=0&transfer=0&WDDXJobSearchParams=%3CwddxPacket%20version%3D%271%2E0%27%3E%3Cheader%2F%3E%3Cdata%3E%3Cstruct%3E%3Cvar%20name%3D%27FIND%5FKEYWORD%27%3E%3Cstring%3E%3C%2Fstring%3E%3C%2Fvar%3E%3Cvar%20name%3D%27TRANSFER%27%3E%3Cstring%3E0%3C%2Fstring%3E%3C%2Fvar%3E%3Cvar%20name%3D%27PROMOTIONALJOBS%27%3E%3Cstring%3E0%3C%2Fstring%3E%3C%2Fvar%3E%3C%2Fstruct%3E%3C%2Fdata%3E%3C%2FwddxPacket%3E) is the link. It clearly says “no substitution”. Is this something they (government people) have to write or are they lenient? The reason I ask is very few schools have ALA accredited programs and many have Library Science Master’s degree but focused on school librarians.
Most of the positions you find will require an ALA-accredited degree. You can always try applying for the jobs anyway; perhaps thy won’t check to see if your school is accredited, or perhaps you’ll be the only person applying. Are you a minority? If so, perhaps they won’t want to check if your degree is accredited because they’ll want you anyway.
The worst that can happen is you waste the hour it takes to write an outstanding cover letter and send it off with your resume. But, just to be safe, I’d go ahead and keep looking for libraries that don’t require it. A good place to start would be the career center or professors at the school that gave you your degree.
